Myanmar: ongoing humanitarian crisis

5 November 2026

Myanmar is facing one of the world’s worst humanitarian crises. Aid agencies estimate that nearly 16 million people, or about one-third of the population, will require humanitarian assistance this year, while roughly 4 million people have been displaced by conflict, economic hardship and natural disasters. Please pray for work being carried out by the church in language and vocational training, supporting Christians to disciple fellow believers and gain an income. Please pray that the church in Myanmar will thrive and for aid to reach those in need quickly.
