[Emergency Appeal] Myanmar 7.9 Magnitude Earthquake, Calling for Humanitarian Aid Donation

On March 28, 2025, a 7.9 magnitude earthquake struck Mandalay, Myanmar, causing widespread destruction. This disastrous quake, the worst in its 71 years, has already claimed over 1,700 lives, and caused several thousand injured, it is estimated that the figure of death and injured will continue to rise.

The country has been badly hit by internal conflicts since 2021 and millions of people have been trapped in extreme poverty, according to the UN report, the conflict has even caused 3.5 million people displaced.

The conflict, coupled with this earthquake, has pushed the children into a worsening situation and they have to face the outbreak of infectious diseases. The children and their families are in urgent need of food, water, and hygiene items to maintain good health. Plan International’s response team has kickstarted the emergency work and is going to distribute food, water, and hygiene kits to help the affected overcome the dire situations.

The earthquake caused many houses to collapse, residents lost their homes and were forced to dig through the rubbles to get essential supplies for survival.

 

Displaced families affected by the disaster sit by the roadside waiting for relief supplies, facing poor sanitary conditions.

As many children and families are struggling to survive, your immediate support is critical in helping save more lives, we hope you can lend an immediate helping hand to the affected.
