SHAN NORTH 9 June marked four years since conflict erupted again in
Kachin and northern Shan. After four years, over 100,000 IDPs
continue to need humanitarian assistance and wear and tear means
that many temporary IDP shelters are in urgent need of repair and
maintenance. While fighting has subsided in many parts of the
Kokang Self-Administered Zone, humanitarian access for
international organizations remains restricted. In late June and
during the month of July, heavy rains caused floods in several
parts of the country, including Rakhine, Ayeyawady, Kayin, Shan,
Mandalay, Sagaing, Kachin, Chin and Magway, affecting over 200,000
people. The Government led emergency response operations, including
the distribution of relief items and provision of medical care to
flood affected townships. The Myanmar Red Cross Society and local
NGOs, as well as international organizations also provided
assistance in some areas. FLOODING 8 June marked three years since
inter-commu- nal violence broke out in Rakhine. Three years on,
some 130,000 people remain displaced. Severe movement restrictions
continue to restrict access of IDPs to basic services including
health, education and livelihoods. RAKHINE STATE A series of focus
group discussions were held in May and June in 15 IDP camps in
Rakhine and 15 camps in Kachin with over 500 displaced people. The
study showed that while national and international organizations
are reaching people with assistance, there is room for improvement
in how aid workers engage and share information with affected
people. ACCOUNTABILITY TO AFFECTED PEOPLE >500,000 people in
