00:00There you go, man.
00:15The ongoing conflict,
00:43the lack of humanitarian access,
00:46the inability to reach populations
00:48where they need the support
00:51are all contributing.
00:53In addition, just moving commodities
00:55into this area are very challenging
00:58because of the constraints
01:00that are now in place.
01:01So all of these factors
01:03are exacerbating the food security situation.
01:06This is resulting in an increase
01:09in the number of hungry,
01:11desperately hungry people.
01:12We worry that the hunger levels will go up.
01:15We worry that the malnutrition levels will go up.
01:17And this is really going to impact
01:19the most vulnerable women, children, elderly,
01:22people who cannot meet their basic needs.
01:26And that's why we call
01:27on the international community
01:28to continue to support
01:30the World Food Programme in Myanmar
01:33and particularly in Rakhine.
01:35When you consider
01:36what is happening elsewhere in the world,
01:38people really aren't focusing
01:40and haven't been focusing
01:41on the needs of the population
01:43in Myanmar.
01:45We estimate as the World Food Programme,
01:47there could be almost 16 million people,
01:49over a third of the population,
01:52that are acutely food insecure.
01:54And this is particularly true
01:56in Rakhine itself.
01:58Welcome to Rakhine itself,
