Myanmar’s military junta has been accused of conducting airstrikes that resulted in the deaths of at least two civilians in the flood-stricken Sagaing region. The attacks occurred while the area is already reeling from severe flooding, exacerbating the humanitarian situation. Accusations have also surfaced that the military is intentionally hindering flood-relief efforts in areas controlled by resistance groups. This obstruction complicates the delivery of essential aid to vulnerable populations affected by both the natural disaster and ongoing political conflict. The strikes and relief restrictions represent a further escalation of violence against civilians. The situation highlights the complex interplay between the country's civil war and natural disasters, hindering effective disaster response. International observers have condemned the junta’s actions and called for unimpeded humanitarian access.
