Stand #WithRefugees, sign the petition today http://www.unhcr.org/refugeeday/petition/ The 17-year ceasefire between the Kachin Independence Army and the Myanmar armed forces collapsed in 2011. The renewal of fighting has displaced an estimated 100,000 people in the northern part of the country. UNHCR is part of the coordinated humanitarian response to displacement in Kachin and northern Shan states, as well as Rakhine State in western Myanmar. We lead the Protection Sector, which works to ensure that the basic rights of internally displaced people (IDPs) and other affected communities are upheld. We also lead the efforts to provide IDPs with shelter, camp coordination and camp management, and basic emergency items (‘non-food items’) like tarpaulins and cooking utensils.
