Millions in Myanmar are still reeling from the aftermath of one of the strongest earthquakes in a century, as aid agencies navigate complex challenges to reach those in urgent need of assistance.
Efforts to deliver humanitarian assistance in Myanmar continue following a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck the country on March 28, affecting millions and causing widespread damage.
According to the United Nations, the disaster impacted densely populated areas, toppling buildings and displacing thousands of residents. Myanmar's authorities report that more than 3,100 lives have been lost, and urgent needs remain for food, water, shelter, and medical support.
Relief operations are underway, but access to some regions has proven difficult due to logistical and security concerns. Humanitarian agencies stress the importance of reaching all affected communities quickly to support recovery efforts.
The government recently declared a temporary nationwide ceasefire to support post-disaster rehabilitation and has called for stability during ongoing recovery efforts.
International organisations continue to monitor the situation and emphasise the importance of prioritising humanitarian assistance in all affected areas.
