Monthly Overview: Conflict-Affected Refugees and Internally Displaced Persons in Southeastern Burma Face Ongoing Threats to Their Safety and Security Due to Junta Attacks

The lack of urgent intervention by the international community in Burma has caused a continuous decline in human rights. Civilians across the country feel overwhelmed by a conflict that forces them to live each day in constant fear and uncertainty due to the absence of consequences and accountability for the illegal actions of the military junta. In specific areas of the Human Rights Foundation of Monland (HURFOM), including Mon State, Karen State, and the Tanintharyi Region, the rising attacks have torn families apart through daily bombings, including airstrikes and artillery attacks. 

On World Refugee Day, marked on June 20, HURFOM recognized the strength and adversity of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and conflict-affected refugees who have been forced to endure widespread trauma as a result of the junta’s increase in assaults. Since the illegal coup in 2021, the junta’s continued violence has forced over 3.5 million people to abandon their homes. 

Dozens of cases documented by HURFOM illustrate a pattern of indiscriminate firing, targeting displaced communities who are sheltering from the violence that has consumed their daily lives. Since the earthquake at the end of March 2025, the junta has launched more than 920 airstrikes and artillery attacks, resulting in the deaths of at least 590 people. Even more troubling is that numerous attacks took place during the junta’s claimed “ceasefire” period.
