The New Humanitarian | Myanmar coup shrinks aid access in border conflicts

BANGKOK and KUALA LUMPUR Forced from his home by conflict in 2018, Zau Lawn is now trying to bring aid to some of the thousands of civilians stranded by fresh clashes in the aftermath of Myanmar’s military coup.

He takes a three-day journey by car, boat, and motorcycle, risking run-ins with security forces, to help people trapped by conflict between military junta forces and the armed wing of the Kachin Independence Organisation – among the largest of more than 20 ethnic armed groups lining the country’s border areas.
