Overview

• The March 28 magnitude-7.7 earthquake, Myanmar's strongest since 1912, has killed 3,769 people, injured over 5,100, and left 107 missing, with more than 200,000 displaced.
• Despite a declared ceasefire, Myanmar's military has conducted at least 65 airstrikes on civilian areas, undermining relief efforts and worsening the humanitarian crisis.
• Relief agencies report critical shortages in safe shelter, clean water, sanitation, and healthcare, with displaced survivors living in makeshift camps under extreme heat and pre-monsoon storms.
• Over 2,000 international rescue workers from 26 countries have delivered 3,800 tons of supplies, set up temporary hospitals, and initiated reconstruction efforts using earthquake-resistant designs.
• Monsoon season and funding shortfalls, including cuts to international aid, threaten to exacerbate the crisis, with risks of disease outbreaks from stagnant water and poor sanitation growing.
