UNHCR is adopting a Panoramic/Route-Based Approach to improve early access to protection and solutions for refugees and asylum-seekers—ultimately reducing the need for risky onward movement.
From January 2022 to August 2025, an estimated 347,100 people fled Myanmar by land and sea—94% by land and 6% by sea or river. Maritime movements have risen steadily, while spikes in land movements closely reflect events in Myanmar, indicating displacement driven by ongoing developments.
