In the Kachin and Shan states, the conflict remains active, and access to displacement sites in areas under the control of armed groups remains blocked. New travel authorisations for Rohingya people are limiting their movement, including because of increased checkpoints following a rise in tensions in Rakhine in November. While access to some IDP sites in Rakhine state has improved, others remain inaccessible. Logistical constraints related to the disruption of banking services have reduced cash availability, affecting procurement activities and transportation and resulting in the suspension of cash assistance programmes. COVID-19 containment measures have further reduced people’s access to humanitarian aid and livelihoods. Conflict in the northwest has been worsening, particularly since mid-September, and access to the region is highly restricted. Economic decline and currency depreciation have resulted in heightened prices of essential goods and fuel, as well as increased food insecurity for vulnerable households - including in areas not covered by humanitarian responders.Īccess to conflict-affected areas and areas not controlled by the Government remains complicated by checkpoints, road blockages, and restrictive travel authorisations humanitarians are navigating these challenges mainly through local partners.
Access to essential public services, particularly healthcare and education, has continued to be limited since the coup. Humanitarian access in Myanmar has slightly improved in areas previously inaccessible, but it remains highly constrained by increased conflict and political unrest. INFORM measures Myanmar's risk of humanitarian crisis and disaster to be high, at 6.3/10. Access to basic services is limited and livelihoods are threatened by conflict and lack of economic opportunities, particularly for the stateless Rohingya in Rakhine and for IDPs living in non-government controlled areas in northern Shan. Protection is a key concern across Myanmar as armed conflict and violations of international humanitarian law by the Tatmadaw and armed groups continue to affect civilians. More than 1.6 million IDPs and refugees remain in protracted conflict-led displacement in Chin, Kachin, Rakhine, and Shan states in Myanmar and in Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Thailand.
Over 268,000 people have been internally displaced in Myanmar since 1 February. 14.4 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance in 2022. On 1 February 2021, the Tatmadaw staged a military coup, declaring fraud in the November 2020 multiparty general election won by the National League for Democracy. The ethnically diverse population of Myanmar has been under military rule from 1962 until 2011, and the military has since shared power with the government as per the 2008 constitution. It’s not available everywhere, so if you have the option to choose fiber, you might want to look into it if speed is important to you.The humanitarian situation in Myanmar is driven by longstanding localised conflicts in rural areas between Myanmar’s armed forces (the Tatmadaw) and various insurgent groups, including militias and ethnic armed organisations. Providers can vary a lot – from the speeds they offer and how much they charge, to how long it takes to repair a cut fiber line and restore an outage.
Fiber – It can be the fastest – but it’s not always. Wisper’s speeds are comparable to cable, and customers enjoy local, friendly, and knowledgeable support. Cable providers rank highest on lists of companies with the worst customer service. If you are looking to cancel your landline telephone and get Internet only, or you want more speed than DSL can provide, Wisper could be your solution. Beware - the older the phone lines in your town or neighborhood, the slower and less reliable your DSL Internet connection can be. Most DSL speeds are between 1 and 3 Mbps. Usually requires a phone line, so bundling with phone is usually required. DSL – Only available in towns, or within a certain distance to the DSL Central Office. Unlike Satellite, weather does not affect Wisper service. Customers who switch from Satellite to Wisper are often amazed by the improvement in Internet speed and reliability. 30ms) are a fraction of that of satellite (i.e. By comparison, your nearest Wisper tower will be less than 5 miles from your house. That’s how far your data is traveling – so latency (the delay between the signal being sent and reaching its destination) is going to be much higher than just about any other option. Satellite - most satellites are floating in orbit between 100 and 24,000 miles away. How does Wireless compare to Satellite, DSL, Cable and Fiber Optics ?
