MYANMAR EARTHQUAKE RELIEF

On March 28, 2025, a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck near Sagaing, Myanmar. A major aftershock (6.4) followed minutes later. The quake was felt across Myanmar, Thailand, India, China, and beyond. Significant damage has been reported in the Sagaing and Mandalay regions, with collapsed buildings, landslides, and infrastructure failures. Rescue efforts are underway.

Over the weekend, we have been coordinating with our regional teams in Thailand and our local teams in Myanmar. Three local partner teams are currently serving in the Mandalay area, providing aid and assistance, as well as coordinating with other partners and assessing the scope of our response. Due to the insecurity within the government system and the instability of the information coming from the ground, we are currently not deploying teams from the United States until we have certainty regarding safety and security.

Please continue to pray for the precious people of Myanmar:

• For them to find comfort, safety, and strength in this time of tragedy.

• Pray for the local teams providing aid, that they are protected and empowered to bring hope and healing.

• Pray for wisdom and guidance in the relief efforts, and for generous support to help rebuild lives and communities.

If you feel led to support the relief efforts, please consider giving to help those affected by this tragedy. Your generosity will directly assist with the ongoing aid and recovery efforts in Myanmar.
