Fears of starvation in Myanmar as UN warns of 'disaster'

The World Food Programme (WFP) is urgently appealing for donations to prevent potential starvation in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, where civil war and economic collapse have created a dire humanitarian crisis. Displaced Rohingya Muslims, already living in camps due to communal fighting in 2012, are facing severe food insecurity, with reports of families resorting to extreme measures like poisoning themselves due to lack of food. The WFP, facing a significant drop in funding, warns that without increased support, the situation could escalate into a full-blown disaster, emphasizing the urgent need for aid in Rakhine State.
