1/5 - Grim data in latest IDP update from CIDKP, a local Karen CBO delivering humanitarian aid in SE Myanmar. 1 million+ IDPs across the 7 Karen districts, with recent increases in Brigades 3 & 6; small reduction in B5, as SAC forces pushed out. #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar

We must never forget that these initiatives are possible because of the people who are determined to not be left behind. Education is a powerful pathway forward in ensuring the success of the People's Revolution 💪
