Myanmar Earthquake: Over 2,800 Dead as Humanitarian Response Faces Challenges
The death toll from the devastating earthquake in Myanmar continues to rise, exceeding 2,800, with thousands injured and hundreds missing. Aftershocks persist, deepening public fear and complicating relief efforts.
In Mandalay, one of the hardest-hit areas, many communities remain without electricity or clean water. Reports indicate cases of acute diarrhea and heat-related illnesses among displaced people. Urgent medical care, essential supplies, clean water, and temporary shelters are needed to prevent disease outbreaks.
Humanitarian efforts have provided aid to thousands, including food, cash assistance, and medical supplies. However, resources remain insufficient, prompting an urgent call to the international community to step up support for Myanmar during this critical time.
Gaza Crisis: One Month Without Humanitarian Aid
Fighting in the Gaza Strip continues to claim lives, with relentless airstrikes and hospitals overwhelmed by casualties. For the past month, no food, fuel, or essential supplies have been allowed in, leaving 2.1 million people trapped in a dire situation.
The food crisis is severe: all humanitarian-supported bakeries have shut down, and families are struggling to access basic food items. Shortages of cooking gas and rising wheat prices have made home baking nearly impossible.
Additionally, over 200,000 people have been displaced in recent weeks following new evacuation orders, leading to overcrowded shelters and worsening living conditions. An estimated 650,000 children have been deprived of education since the conflict began.
The international community continues to sound the alarm over the escalating crisis, while humanitarian organizations stress the urgent need for safe access to deliver aid.
