Highlights
The destruction caused by the 28 March earthquake in Myanmar continues to cause widespread devastation. As of 7 May, state media report nearly 3,800 deaths, 5,100 injuries, and close to 100 people still missing.
UNHCR has reached over 80,000 people (16,200 families) with core relief items (CRIs), shelter materials, or multi-purpose assistance.
Initial findings from the ongoing multi-cluster/sector initial rapid assessment (MIRA) highlight critical needs for shelter, clean water and sanitation, mental health and psychosocial support, livelihoods, civil documentation and food, especially with the monsoon season approaching.
