The European Union has increased its humanitarian aid to Myanmar by 10.5 million euros, bringing the total support for 2026 to 49.1 million euros. This funding is intended to assist populations affected by conflict, displacement, and natural disasters like flash floods.

Since the military coup in February 2021, the humanitarian crisis has expanded significantly, with 16.2 million people now requiring assistance. European Commissioner Hadja Lahbib noted that the scale of the crisis has “changed beyond recognition,” as civilians face a collapsing economy, a broken healthcare system, and severe hunger.
