Devastating Earthquake in Myanmar | How to Help Earthquake Victims

On Friday 28 March 2025, a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck near Mandalay, Myanmar, with tremors felt across the country and as far as Bangkok, Thailand. The quake caused widespread destruction, particularly in Mandalay, where buildings collapsed and critical infrastructure was heavily damaged. An estimated 6.1 million people across Myanmar have been affected.

“In Bangkok, this is the first time we experienced such a strong impact from an earthquake, and it is deeply concerning; especially for densely populated urban areas,” said Promboon Panitchpakdi, Executive Director of CARE Thailand. “We felt the tremors clearly in Bangkok, buildings shook for several minutes, and all office staff evacuated immediately. The government has declared a state of emergency.
