The Star (Myanmar) published an article stating that while definitive crime statistics were not available, over 10 urban residents contacted by ST reported having been victims of or witnessed crimes affecting their friends and relatives, making them unwilling to venture outdoors at nightfall or fearful of carrying anything valuable when they leave their homes. According to an International Food Policy Research Institute paper released in December, 4 percent of households were in “moderate to severe hunger” from July to August 2022, with the most hunger experienced in Kayah and Chin states, and the Tanintharyi region.
