The number of internally displaced people (IDPs) in the Karen National Union’s (KNU) controlled areas increased by 51,555 in February, bringing the total to over 1.1 million, according to the Committee for Internally Displaced Karen People (CIDKP). The surge in displacement is attributed to intensified clashes and airstrikes carried out by the military junta.
CIDKP reported that IDP numbers rose across all seven KNU brigade and districts in February, with KNU Brigade 3 in Nyaunglebin District (Klerlweehtu in Karen) experiencing the highest increase of 20,000 due to heavy fighting.
