Myanmar Earthquake_100 Days After

One hundred days after two powerful earthquakes — measuring 7.7 and 6.4 in magnitude — hit Myanmar on 28 March, communities continue to grapple with severe challenges. The earthquakes are part of a compounding crisis in the country that has struck people with repeated shocks – including devastating conflict and flooding that has stripped people of shelter, livelihoods and a sense of safety. For many, coping mechanisms are exhausted, leaving extremely vulnerable populations with dangerously diminished resilience – just as they face increased danger from flooding.

Of the 6.3 million people identified with urgent needs after the earthquakes, 1.8 million of the most vulnerable were prioritized for assistance. Humanitarian partners have delivered aid to 1 million people to date, reaching 57 per cent of the target.
