It has been six months since the powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar on 28 March 2025.The devastating quake caused widespread damage to homes, schools, health centres, and public infrastructure across Mandalay and Sagaing regions. It has worsened an already dire humanitarian situation, with nearly 20 million people nationwide in need of assistance due to prolonged conflict, recurring natural disasters, and economic collapse.
