I get that OCHA are in a tough spot... but this report is missing that one of the key challenges is the Junta blocking aid agencies including OCHA from going into effected areas. Access is mentioned 11 times in the report but it's defo on the reader to infer the why😒 reliefweb.int/report/myanm...

Key Challenges and Gaps
• Access, insecurity and funding remain major challenges for operational partners, while telecommunications and
internet services are unstable or suspended, frequently interrupting humanitarian communications and operations.
• Response efforts remain impacted by physical constraints such as inaccessible roads, damaged bridges, and
ongoing clashes.
• Multiple checkpoints, especially in the Southeast, have imposed restrictions on the transportation of relief items,
hindering flood-response movements and the distribution of essential aid.
• In Rakhine State, moving humanitarian supplies from Sittwe to other townships has been difficult due to access
challenges, insecurity and landmines along routes and waterways, which have been moved further due to
floodwater, further complicating relief efforts.
• The limited presence of humanitarian agencies especially in rural areas severely hampers the ability to gather
accurate, real-time information
