Update news after 28 May Myanmar Earthquate
A community-led response to the earthquake is the only answer, Khin Ohnmar april 28, 2025
The devastating Sagaing earthquake that struck Myanmar on March 28 added yet another layer of devastation to a country already in crisis. For many around the world, it may appear as the latest in a string of natural disasters. But for the people of Myanmar, it is another wound torn open in a nation already bleeding from the violence and oppression of a brutal military junta.
This moment demands moral clarity
In the wake of such devastating geological disaster, it is natural to want to help—to rebuild, to heal. But in Myanmar, healing cannot come without justice; recovery cannot be done without accountability. Rebuilding cannot happen while the rubble is still being created by this junta.
The people of Myanmar are not passive victims. They are leading their own resistance, organising their own relief and recovery, and envisioning and striving for their own future.
It is time the international community follows their lead—not the lead of the generals who brought this disaster upon them.
28 April 2025: Today marks one month since the devastating Sagaing earthquakes struck Myanmar, killing at least 3,700 people, injuring close to 5,000, pushing 4.3 million people into urgent need overnight, and levelling homes and critical infrastructure.
This tragedy compounded an underlying catastrophe – a military junta war against the people that over four years has claimed thousands of civilian lives and plunged tens of millions into poverty and suffering.
