UNDP response to the earthquake in Myanmar
April 2, 2025
On March 28, a powerful earthquake struck along the Sagaing Fault, devastating communities across the Sagaing and Mandalay regions in Myanmar. Atleast 5 million people have been severely affected, with many in remote areas. Damage to vital transport infrastructure has cut off access to homes, markets, and essential services, worsening an already fragile situation. The disaster unfolds against a backdrop of conflict, displacement, and economic instability, further compounding vulnerabilities. It underscores the urgent need for a localized and adaptive response to address both immediate relief and long-term recovery efforts.
