On March 28, 2025, a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar near Mandalay. The earthquake, the most powerful to hit Myanmar in over a century, caused extensive damage to buildings, infrastructure, and historical sites, with thousands forced to sleep outdoors amid fears of aftershocks. Relief efforts have been complicated by Myanmar's ongoing civil war following the 2021 military coup, with shortages of medical supplies, heavy machinery, and damaged roads hampering humanitarian assistance. The earthquake's impact extended to neighboring Thailand, where at least 11 people died when a high-rise under construction collapsed in Bangkok.

Myanmar was still picking up the pieces after the terrible floods of late 2024 when this new tragedy hit in 2025, making an already desperate situation even worse. Last year's monsoon season hit central and southern Myanmar particularly hard, with UN reports showing around 100,000 people affected across five states. The floodwaters swept away homes, ruined drinking water, and destroyed farmland in communities already caught in the crossfire of armed conflict following the 2021 military coup. Many families had no choice but to leave everything behind and head to overcrowded evacuation centers, where aid workers struggled to reach them due to military checkpoints and fighting. Now, with this latest disaster, people who were already stretched to their breaking point have been pushed even further, with little left to help them bounce back.

We’ve collected several resources where you can directly support organizations as they give the support they need.

We have collected a mix of international, local and other regional organizations and funds supporting this particular cause. Local organizations can often deliver aid more quickly and effectively as they operate on the ground. While international donations to these local groups may not be tax-deductible, they typically face fewer restrictions from the junta than international organizations.
Consider giving to these funds if you are a foreigner or Burmese living abroad
