    1. We reacted in a couple of hours, and we are releasing two and a half million of initial emergency assistance.
    2. We hope that the aid sent from European Union will be delivered very quickly.
  2. GB
    British Foreign Office
    1. This UK funding will increase support in the hardest hit areas of the earthquake and geared towards food and water supplies, medicine, and shelter.

    Noriko Takagi
    UN High Commissioner for Refugees
    1. Our teams in Mandalay are joining efforts to scale up the humanitarian response despite going through the trauma themselves.
  4. MM
    National Unity Government
    1. The NUG, together with resistance forces, allied organizations and civil society groups, will carry out rescue operations.
  5. MM
    Min Aung Hlaing
    1. I would like to invite any country, any organisation, or anyone in Myanmar, to come and help. Thank you.
    2. All military and civilian hospitals, as well as health care workers, must work together in a coordinated and efficient manner to ensure effective medical response.

    1. The problem is that you still have military operations going on right now... Military strikes by the military junta.
    2. You've got 20 million people in need of humanitarian aid before this earthquake hit. Three and a half million internally displaced persons before the earthquake hit. Half the population falling into poverty before the earthquake hit. So already you have a very, very difficult situation.
  8. Debbie Stothard
    Altsean-Burma
    1. The junta is notorious for weaponizing aid, and even launched airstrikes shortly after the quake. Sending aid to the junta will only make things worse.
