+++ A powerful earthquake in Myanmar shook parts of Southeast Asia on March 28. The epicenter was located just 16 kilometers northwest of the city of Sagaing. The region around the major city of Mandalay in Myanmar has been particularly hard hit. Thousands of people have been killed or injured, and tens of thousands of homes have been destroyed. Our colleagues on the ground are distributing food, clean water, and cash to those affected. +++ Myanmar is the poorest country in Southeast Asia and is deeply affected by political and humanitarian crises. Since the military coup in 2021, violence and conflicts have escalated, leaving around 19.9 million people in need of humanitarian assistance—more than one third of the population. Displaced people and the persecuted Rohingya minority are particularly affected. In addition to political instability, Myanmar suffers from natural disasters, poverty, and supply shortages. WHH supports the affected population both within the country and in refugee camps in Bangladesh.
