"CRISIS IMPACT OVERVIEW • On 14 May 2023, the extremely severe cyclonic storm Mocha made landfall between Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh and Kyaukpyu township in Myanmar. The cyclone caused significant damage to critical infrastructure, houses, and shelters in western and northern Myanmar, including Chin, Kachin, Magway, Rakhine, and Sagaing states, and in Bangladesh’s southeastern Chattogram division (ECHO 17/05/2023; OCHA 17/05/2023 a). • In Myanmar, initial estimations suggest that the cyclone has affected approximately 5.4 million people in Chin, Magway, Rakhine, and Sagaing states, with 3.2 million potentially in need of humanitarian assistance (OCHA 16/05/2023). As at 17 May, 41 people had died and around 700 were injured. The cyclone has resulted in the evacuation of approximately 100,000 people. Among the worst-affected areas is western Rakhine, where the cyclone has extensively damaged numerous IDP camps for Rohingya people. Severe flooding has also affected more than 100,000 people in villages located in Magway and Sagaing (ECHO 17/05/2023). • In Bangladesh, as at 19 May, the cyclone had affected approximately 2.3 million people, destroyed over 2,000 houses, and damaged more than 10,000 houses in Chattogram division (in Chattogram, Cox’s Bazar, Feni, and Noakhali districts) (ISCG et al. 17/05/2023; UNHCR 19/05/2023). A pre-existing high needs level meant that Rohingya refugees living in the camps were the most affected (ECHO 17/05/2023; OCHA 17/05/2023 a). • The main needs reported for those affected in Myanmar are shelter, drinking water, latrine reconstruction or repair, health assistance, relief items, and food. The subsequent flood poses a high risk of spreading waterborne disease in the affected areas (OCHA 16/05/2023). Need assessments are underway but access constraints create more security risks and access obstacles in the cyclone-affected areas (OCHA 19/05/2023; The Guardian 19/05/2023). In Bangladesh, rapid needs assessments are underway (ISCG et al. 17/05/2023)..."
