Emergency Response Update

Together with our dedicated local partner, Medair has supported 2,639 households — reaching approximately 11,348 people in Myanmar.

Through Multipurpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) and Psychological First Aid (PFA), we’ve been able to provide critical support to families in need.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this possible. Your support is changing lives.

We will continue our efforts in the next weeks to support the ones in need.

Earthquake in Myanmar

A large part of the infrastructure has been destroyed, but we are trying to reach the country as quickly as possible with essential survival kits. We need your help to cope with the scale of the devastation. This powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake was felt as far as China, causing considerable damage and numerous casualties.

Myanmar already had the fifth highest level of needs in the world, with about 20 million people (1/3 of the population) requiring assistance. Up to 10,190,000 have been exposed to strong and very strong shaking. Those who have lost their homes due to the earthquake and need shelter, those injured or in need of urgent health care, as well as those deprived of access to clean water... All these people need help immediately.

We must act now to prevent further deaths. Our emergency response team is being deployed to assess and respond to the most urgent needs. Medair has a long history of responding to devastating earthquakes (Haiti, Nepal, Pakistan, Syria, Turkey, etc.). Help us today to provide the vital aid that affected people need.
