Myanmar junta travel restrictions are holding up vital aid to cyclone-hit communities

Myanmar’s military junta is holding up humanitarian access to some cyclone-hit communities in western Rakhine state after Cyclone Mocha devastated the lives and livelihoods of millions of people in the poorest parts of the country.

United Nations agencies said Wednesday they were still negotiating access to parts of the state four days after Mocha slammed into Myanmar’s coast on Sunday as one of the strongest storms ever to hit the country.

Hundreds of people are feared to have died and thousands more are in urgent need of shelter, clean water, food and health care as a clearer picture of the devastation is beginning to emerge.

While rescue groups have warned of “a large scale loss of life,” the exact number of casualties is hard to know due to flooding, blocked roads, and downed communications.

Widespread destruction of homes and infrastructure has been reported throughout Rakhine, home to hundreds of thousands of displaced people.

Storm damage has hampered efforts to access rural and hard-to-reach areas while pre-existing travel restrictions imposed by the junta have delayed the delivery of vital aid to communities in urgent need.

“Humanitarian actors have made clear that the need to secure travel authorization is impeding their response to the cyclone,” said Tom Andrews, UN Special Rapporteur for Human Rights in Myanmar.

“It seems that many agencies haven’t even been able to conduct needs assessments, let alone deliver aid, because SAC (junta) officials have not granted travel authorization. This is extremely worrying.”

The UN’s humanitarian office (OCHA) said Wednesday it was still waiting for access to be granted by the junta to reach communities in Rakhine state in order to “start coordinated field missions to gauge the full scope of the humanitarian situation.”

“The bureaucratic access constraints are affecting all partners, including the UN and NGOs,” said Pierre Peron, UN OCHA’s regional public information officer. “To deliver, we will need access to affected people, relaxation of travel authorization requirements and expedited customs clearances for commodities.”

About 5.4 million people in Rakhine and the northeast are estimated to have been in the path of the cyclone, which crashed into the state as an equivalent category 5 hurricane, with winds of over 200 kilometers per hour (195 mph). Of those, more than 3 million people are most vulnerable, according to UN OCHA in its latest update.

The priority is to assess the damage in Kyauktaw, Maungdaw, Pauktaw, Ponnagyun, Rathedaung and Sittwe townships, it said.

“The road between Yangon and Sittwe has now reopened, potentially providing a transport route for much-needed supplies, if approved. It is also hoped the Sittwe airport will reopen on Thursday,” UN OCHA said.

Another roadblock to relief efforts is a severe lack of funding, with a $764 million humanitarian response plan less than 10% funded.

“Colleagues simply will not be able to respond to these additional needs from the cyclone and continue our existing response across the country without more financial support from donors,” said UN OCHA’s Peron.

Cyclone Mocha: IMD predicts an upcoming cyclonic storm over the Bay of Bengal

As a low-pressure area develops in the region, Cyclone Mocha, the year's first cyclone, is expected to form over the southeast Bay of Bengal this week. A cyclonic circulation is expected to form around May 6, according to the IMD. However, the cyclone's formation has yet to be confirmed. "On or around May 6, 2023, a cyclonic circulation is likely to form over the southeast Bay of Bengal." "A low-pressure area is likely to form over the same region during the next 48 hours (May 7 and 8) under its influence," the IMD stated on Tuesday. https://twitter.com/Indiametdept/status/1653319468192497664?s=20 The IMD issued its statement after the Global Forecast System, the US weather forecast model, and the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts predicted the formation of a cyclonic storm over the Bay of Bengal. The cyclonic storm, if it forms, will be named 'Cyclone Mocha' according to the WMO/ESCAP nomenclature system. Yemen suggested the name, which is based on the Red Sea port city. Most cyclones that formed in the region in recent years, including Amphan in 2020, Asani in 2021, and Yaas in 2022, made landfall in May. Though the IMD has made no predictions about Cyclone Mocha's path, its impact on the coasts of West Bengal and Odisha cannot be ruled out. The Odisha government has already begun preparations to mitigate any damage caused by the cyclone. According to Windy.com, the cyclonic storm is expected to pass over the Bay of Bengal on Tuesday next week. It will then gradually move northward, closer to the Indian coast. A low-pressure area forming over the southeast region of the Bay of Bengal will intensify into a cyclonic storm on May 9 near the Andaman Islands, according to the IMD-Global Forecast System (GFS). According to the IMD's forecast, the storm will move north-northeastward towards the east-central Bay of Bengal until May 11. On May 11, a low-pressure area will form in the south Andaman Sea and the southeast Bay of Bengal, followed by a cyclonic storm, according to the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecast (ECMWF).   Tags: cyclone mocha update, cyclone mocha 2023, mocha cyclone chennai, new Cyclone, Cyclone Mocha, Cyclone Bay of Bengal, Cyclone in May, Cyclone landfall, Cyclone Mocha Odisha, Odisha Cyclone Read the full article
