Description: 

"A total of at least 170,000 people have been displaced by the military engagements between 22 May 2022 and 20 February 2022 in Karenni State, and they are taking refuge within the state or in other states and regions. Most of the displaced people have had to flee immediately from their villages, and they could only bring a small amount of food and household utensils. Most of the internally displaced persons (IDPs) are living in makeshift camps with limited access to food, medicine and drinking water. It is very much appreciated that people are helping each other for such an extended period of time. Yet currently, the humanitarian coverage is less than before and the assistance is "decreasing" in the early stages of 2022. Therefore, we the Karenni State Consultative Council (KSCC) would like to urge and request the people to pay special attention and adhere to the following recommendations for food security. i) Make a list of different kinds of food and systematically collect and store rice, corn and different kinds of beans. ii) Collect and pack rice, cooking oil and salt, as well as basic medicine, for family members for three days. iii) Share food and help each other to overcome the initial food shortage. iv) If you are facing a shortage of food, please immediately inform to relevant village committee and IDP camp committees. v) Prioritize the elderly, sick, children under 16, pregnant women and breast-feeding women. vi) Stop breeding animals and making snack productions which use a lot of rice or paddy..."
