.

Key takeaway A further two health workers were killed in two separate roadside landmine explosions reportedly attributed to opposition forces in Bago and Magway regions.
Why this matters
The persistent attacks on health care in Myanmar highlight the dire need for humanitarian relief and protection of medical personnel in conflict zones. With the majority of incidents attributed to the Myanmar Armed Forces, the international community must prioritize holding perpetrators accountable for these violations. The targeting of health workers and facilities not only exacerbates the humanitarian crisis but also undermines the ability of aid organizations to provide critical assistance. The use of explosive weapons, including airstrikes and landmines, poses a significant threat to civilians and health workers alike. As the situation continues to deteriorate, it is essential for faith-based organizations and other humanitarian groups to advocate for the protection of health care services and the respect of international humanitarian law. The ECFA-accredited nonprofits and relief organizations tracked by Christgiving can play a crucial role in providing emergency aid and supporting the recovery of affected communities in Myanmar.
