Desperate location according to earthquake in Myanmar: over 2,000 deaths and more!

In Myanmar, a devastating earthquake of the strength 7.7 on March 28, 2025, at 12:50 p.m. local time, shaked the region. The city of Sagaing, near the epicenter, is most affected. Official information from the military junta reports more than 2,000 fatalities and over 2,370 injured, while experts consider the actual number to be significantly higher. The destruction is enormous: residential and office buildings, bridges and historical buildings have been badly damaged and are sometimes completely destroyed. There are also reports on neglected conditions, especially in Sagaing, where the rescue workers assumed the funeral bags, and the city has been fulfilled by the smell of decaying corpses, reported News agency.

The situation on site is desperate: millions of people live in the areas affected by the earthquake. At the same time, the devastating shocks also left damage in Thailand. In Bangkok, the search work on a collapsed high-rise raw building continued, where another five corpses were discovered. The number of death in Bangkok is now over 20, while more than 70 people are still missing. The civilian infrastructure in Myanmar is severely restricted by the political and military conditions, which also makes humanitarian aid more difficult. Aid organizations such as Malteser International have started immediate emergency aid campaigns with food, clothing, hygiene articles, ceilings to help urgently needed goods.

auxiliary measures and international support

donations from countries such as China, Great Britain, India, Russia and the United Nations arrive in Myanmar to support the suffering. Nevertheless, there are concerns that the military junta could use the funds provided for other purposes, warned Human Rights Watch, which is an unrestricted access to the humanitarian aid for the Demands.

In addition, internet access was restricted in many affected areas, which makes it difficult to coordinate the auxiliary measures. The political conditions in Myanmar, which have prevailed since the brutal coup in 2021, have a negative impact on the effectiveness of the auxiliary measures. The international community faces the challenge of providing help, while the government of the country is strict control of the flow of information and the distribution of relief goods.
