URGENT: MYANMAR EARTHQUAKE
On Friday, 28 March, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, causing widespread destruction, particularly in the regions of Mandalay, Sagaing, and Shan State. Thousands of people have died, many are injured, and countless others are without shelter. Essential infrastructure, including hospitals, and schools, lies in ruins, leaving people without access to healthcare, clean water, energy or communication services.

We need your help to continue delivering life-saving support.
