    It is in the remote parts of Myanmar that the worst abuses of the right to food continue. Within recent weeks, the Asian Legal Resource Centre has spoken with persons travelling in some of these areas. They have told of thousands of people displaced from their lands, some for years, starving in the jungle.

    Myanmar

    Highlights:

    Cyclone Komen made landfall in Myanmar at the end of July 2015
    causing extensive flooding to
    agricultural land, which remained
    submerged
    in some areas until September. This caused severe
    localized losses to the 2015 monsoon season crops, especially p
    addy, in Chin, Rakhine,
    Ayeyarwaddy, Yangon, Sagaing
    and parts of Bago. However, once the water receded, a large portion
    of the flooded areas with paddy was replanted. Overall, the amount of irreversible damage was
    limited.
