Aftermath
It’s been over a month since the 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit Myanmar, and things are definitely not back to normal.
More than 17 million people have been impacted by the quake, which struck near the city of Sagaing on March 28. Since then, nearly 4,000 lives have been lost, and many communities are still without adequate support.
Around 80% of affected households still lack basics like food, shelter, and medical care.
Meanwhile, the country is still in the throes of a four-year-long civil war—a conflict that’s displaced more than 3 million people. Though major news coverage has quieted, aid groups say the damage and needs are “staggering.”
