Last update: 7 hours agoDetention and Health: Aung San Suu Kyi’s son says she sounded fairly healthy during their first call in more than five years, but she has painful tendonitis in her right hand. He cautioned that one conversation does not mean regular family access or freedom. Climate and Health Risks: A very strong El Niño could intensify drought, flooding and heat, threatening food and clean water; the World Food Programme warns it could push 49 million more people into acute food insecurity in 2027. Food Costs: In Myanmar, buying 10 staple foods takes the equivalent of 10.1 eight-hour workdays, according to a new World Vision report—an average that may understate the burden on poorer households. Cross-Border Pollution: A mine near Myanmar’s border is reportedly releasing lead- and arsenic-contaminated waste into streams that flow into Thailand’s Ruak and Mekong rivers, raising concerns about water quality downstream.
