Myanmar earthquake death toll tops 3,000 as aid efforts face delays and disruptions

ai generated text

A 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, killing over 3,000 people and injuring nearly 5,000. The disaster caused widespread destruction, trapping survivors under rubble. Myanmar’s military declared a temporary ceasefire but faced criticism for ongoing airstrikes and blocking emergency aid. International relief efforts are underway, but aid distribution remains a challenge.

  1. UN Office for Project Services
    1. The situation remains critical, with disrupted communications and road access hampering response efforts, particularly in Sagaing.
  2. AU
    Penny Wong
    Australian Foreign Ministry
    1. We take proactive steps to ensure our assistance does not legitimise the military regime in Myanmar.
  3. CH
    Julia Rees
    United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund
    1. Across the affected areas, families are facing acute shortages of clean water, food, and medical supplies.
    2. This crisis is still unfolding. The tremors are continuing. Search and rescue operations are ongoing. Bodies are still being pulled from the rubble.
    3. The needs are massive, and they are rising by the hour.

    1. The real death toll is likely a lot higher, somewhere between 10,000 and 100,000 according to estimates in Mandalay alone.
  5. FR
    Stephane Dujarric
    United Nations
    1. We must act swiftly to provide relief before the upcoming monsoon season, which, of course, will even worsen this horrendous crisis.
  6. IT
    Marcoluigi Corsi
    UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs
    1. We keep saying that Myanmar does not rank very high among the different emergencies… The humanitarian response in Myanmar has been chronically underfunded for years. Four months into the year right now, less than 5 per cent of the required US$1.1 billion of the Humanitarian Response Plan has been received.
  7. MM
    Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army
    1. We strongly desire that urgent humanitarian efforts, which are immediately needed for the earthquake-affected population, be carried out as swiftly and effectively as possible.
  8. MM
    Min Aung Hlaing
    1. Among the missing, most are assumed to be dead. There is a narrow chance for them to remain alive.
