At least 3,000 lives have been taken by the earthquake in Myanmar and Thailand.<\/h3>\n<p>A 7.7-magnitude earthquake hit Myanmar and neighboring Thailand on Friday, leaving at least 3,000 recorded deaths and 4,500 people injured. Many of the recorded casualties happened in hard-hit cities like Mandalay, Sagaing, and Naypyidaw, where photos show extensive damage, but the death toll is expected to rise as rescue efforts continue country-wide.<br \/>\n<small><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/myanmar-thailand-earthquake-ee151c1f08d1dd36c3cc01c3c83fa870\"><em>Sources: AP News<\/em><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aljazeera.com\/news\/2025\/4\/2\/myanmar-quake-death-toll-nears-2900-as-rescue-efforts-continue\"><em>Aljazeera News<\/em><\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<h3>2. The full extent of death, injury, and destruction is still being revealed.<\/h3>\n<p>This is particularly true in Myanmar, which is experiencing a civil war and strict control of information. \u201cThe death toll and injuries are expected to rise,\u201d said Myanmar&#8217;s military government Senior General Min Aung Hlaing. With roads damaged and communication lines down, access to critical resources is limited, placing communities at even greater risk. The lack of communication network access is also hindering impact assessments and initial search and rescue efforts.<br \/>\n<small><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/myanmar-thailand-earthquake-ee151c1f08d1dd36c3cc01c3c83fa870\"><em>Source: AP News<\/em><\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<h3>3. The earthquake will compound the effects of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Myanmar. <\/h3>\n<p>The people of Myanmar have faced a number of humanitarian and human rights crises in recent years. In 2017, extreme violence against the Rohingya population in Myanmar caused more than 980,000 people to flee their homes and cross borders. \u200b\u200bIn February 2021, the military junta overthrew the elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi and has since been engaged in a violent civil war with both long standing militias and newly-formed pro-democracy groups. The United Nations reports that more than 3 million people have been displaced by the conflict, and nearly 20 million are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.<br \/>\n<small><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/thailand-earthquake-bangkok-4fce87aced74b1fc0cf260fb5454d353\"><em>Source: AP News<\/em><\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<h3>4. Health facilities, infrastructure, and roads vital for delivering basic necessities have been heavily impacted.<\/h4>\n<p>Our partners have reported that health facilities have been severely damaged, along with the infrastructure and roads crucial for delivering basic necessities. This is further hindering access to hospitals for those in urgent need of medical care and complicating search and rescue efforts. Tens of thousands of people are in desperate need of food, water, shelter, medicines, and medical supplies. <\/p>\n<p>As our partners continue to check on the safety of their teams and communities, they are assessing the damage and impacts to determine where they can be most effective. Some are already providing emergency supplies like tents, food, water, basic medical care, medicine, and mosquito coils.<\/p>\n<h3>5. GlobalGiving\u2019s local partners are already helping survivors access food, shelter, and other emergency survivors. <\/h3>\n<p>GlobalGiving is working with responding partners to help earthquake survivors and first responders in Myanmar and Thailand.

People who live and work in affected communities serve a vital role in emergency response and long-term recovery.<\/h3>\n<p>As the first responders to a crisis, they possess invaluable local knowledge, understanding the unique needs and challenges of their communities. This insight allows them to provide more effective and culturally appropriate aid, ensuring that resources are distributed where they are most needed. Moreover, these local individuals and organizations are often best positioned to sustain recovery efforts over time, building resilience within their communities. By empowering and supporting local actors, we can foster a more sustainable, inclusive recovery process that strengthens both immediate relief efforts and future preparedness.<br \/>\n<small><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/learn\/why-community-led-nonprofits-deserve-your-investment\/?rf=learn_fast_facts_myanmar_and_thailand_earthquake\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Source: GlobalGiving<\/em><\/a><\/small><\/p>\n<h3>7.
