Lessons from the rubble: Simple truths from monster earthquakes
In the wake of Myanmar's 7.7 magnitude earthquake, 5 lessons in effective crisis response from Dr. Unni Krishnan.
Myanmar Earthquake Appeal
A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar in the morning of 28th March. Hundreds are feared dead.
This disaster has struck while Myanmar is already grappling with conflict. We are extremely concerned about the toll that yet another crisis will take on children, especially girls, and their families.
Plan International has worked in Myanmar since 2008 and has experienced staff in the country. We are working urgently to get additional teams on the ground, assess needs and stand ready to provide support.
Please donate today to support the girls, children and families affected.
Humanitarian needs in Myanmar will be significant
We are working hard to make contact with communities in the hardest hit areas in and around Mandalay, but already, we know that critical infrastructure has been destroyed.
Landlines are not functioning, and houses and other buildings have collapsed not just in Myanmar but in neighbouring Thailand as well.
To support the most vulnerable children affected by this emergency and to protect girls and young women, find your donation office.
