Children and their families continue to need urgent life-saving assistance, one month since the earthquake hit central Myanmar: Nearly 1.6 million out of 3.5 million internally displaced people are in the hardest-hit regions—Mandalay, Sagaing, and parts of Shan State. Unseasonal rain has already caused disruptions in aid delivery, but with the arrival of the monsoon season, in the coming months, the compounding effects of these challenges will be catastrophic for thousands of children who have lost their homes and are living in temporary shelters, increasing the risks of waterborne diseases.
"The humanitarian need is higher than the resources to fulfil those urgent needs. The gap between needs and available resources is growing and children who urgently need support are paying the price," - Dr Kyi Minn, National Director, World Vision Myanmar.
World Vision is providing life-saving relief assistance to the children and their families affected by the earthquake: Through our humanitarian efforts, both immediate relief and longterm recovery, as of 21 April 2025, we have reached 162,133 people affected by the earthquake, including 22,339 boys and 30,019 girls.
