In May 2008, Cyclone Nargis devasted much of the southern parts of Mynmar causin 400,000 deaths and disrupting food suplies so badly it made them vulnerable to famine. The cyclone greatly affected the Irrrawaya region, where most of the food is produced for the nation. Therefore causing nation wide for insecurity and food shortages.
The suitation was not helped by the apparent inability of the military goverment to provide the apparent emergency aid or to accept help from other coutries. Since the military power that has taken power since 1962, the Chin people have suffered violent oppreseion at the hands of the army. Despire appeals, little or no food was sent to the area, creating a sene of ethnic clensing. In desperation, many people migrated to nearby India for more stability and help.
