"Armed clashes between the Myanmar military
(Tatmadaw) and Arakan Army continued in May across
Rakhine State, resulting in small-scale and sporadic
internal population movements. WFP continued to support
newly displaced people with emergency food assistance,
assisting over 1,500 newly displaced people in northern
Rakhine and over 2,300 in central Rakhine during May.
In northern Rakhine State, WFP’s emergency relief
assistance reached 91,340 conflict-affected people from
164 Muslim, Buddhist and Hindu villages and two internally
displaced people (IDP) locations in Buthidaung and
Maungdaw townships. In addition, WFP reached over
18,900 children under 5 years and pregnant and lactating
women (PLW) through nutrition interventions. In central
Rakhine State, WFP nutrition assistance reached 6,430 PLW
and 27,070 children under 5 , and 113,700 food-insecure
