Myanmar government's lack of response in resolving this humanitarian crisis is already a concern to the whole world.

Resolving inter-ethnic conflicts together with overcoming the COVID-19 pandemic is a major task of the Government of Myanmar. Equitable the disbursement of aid funds from the Myanmar government and public awareness to maintain health protocols are crucial to dealing with the conflict amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to see how the Myanmar government responds to the humanitarian and health crisis emergency in the COVID-19 pandemic. This research uses a qualitative method of case study with analytical descriptive. This research uses a conflict resolution management approach that must be completed by the Government of Myanmar.
