Dear Members,
This is to inform you that the ACT alert for the Myanmar earthquake emergency has now issued and has just been posted to our website at this link:https://actalliance.org/alerts/act-alert-myanmar-earthquake-response/
on Friday, March 28, 2025, a 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit Myanmar, followed by strong aftershocks measuring 6.4-magnitude. This marks the strongest earthquake experienced in Myanmar.
The earthquake was felt as far as China and Thailand, where assessments of potentially damaged buildings are being conducted. In Bangkok, an apartment tower collapsed, trapping over 100 construction workers below. Rescue efforts in Bangkok continued through the night.
According to UN and government reports in Myanmar, the current official death count is at least 1600 people have been killed, and many injured. The US Geological Survey estimated that the death toll could top 10,000. Efforts have been hampered by the shortages of heavy machinery. From the figures, Mandalay state is one of the worst affected states in Myanmar with a population of around 1.2 million people. According to media and government sources, almost all the states have been badly affected.
The earthquake caused extensive damage across multiple sectors. Healthcare facilities are overwhelmed, with hospitals in the affected regions suffering structural damage and struggling to accommodate the growing number of casualties.
According to Christian Aid and its local implementing partner UMMGAA, Emergency medical assistance is urgently required as healthcare facilities are stretched beyond capacity. Displacement is a major concern, particularly in Mandalay and surrounding townships, where emergency shelters are critically needed. Food and water shortages are severe, particularly in Sagaing and Magway, necessitating immediate humanitarian aid. Vulnerable groups, including children, the elderly, persons with disabilities, and pregnant women, require prioritized assistance. Additionally, the mental health toll on affected populations is severe, with a pressing need for psychosocial support services to help communities cope with trauma.
ACT Alliance members Christian Aid and Finn Church Aid are already on the ground and initiated their emergency response to support the affected population.
If for any reason you have difficulty accessing the website or cannot download the document, please do not hesitate to contact Waqas Muhammad (Waqas@actalliance.org )Regional Humanitarian Program Officer – Asia & the Pacific who will forward the document to you as an attachment.
