The United Nations has warned of"dire" conditions as the monsoon approaches and fighting rages after nearly 700,000 people were forced to flee their homes since the toppling of Aung San Suu Kyi's government last year.
Civilian militias have formed to fight back against the coup across the country, and the junta has responded with an onslaught that rights groups say includes razing villages, mass extra-judicial killings and airstrikes on civilians.The violence has added to an estimated 346,000 people already displaced before the coup.
More than 300,000 of those displaced since the coup were from the northwestern Sagaing region, where fighters clash regularly with junta forces, it added.
