Myanmar Earthquake Emergency Appeal

On the afternoon of 28 March, a 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Mandalay, Myanmar’s second largest city. As of 22 April, this disastrous quake, the worst in its 71 years, hastragically claimed the lives of over 3,700 people and left 5,100 injured.

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 children and their families are in urgent need of food, water, and hygiene items to survive. 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.
