Our Global Emergency Response Team is deploying to Myanmar to assist communities affected by the devastating earthquake. Working alongside partners on the ground, we are committed to providing urgent relief to those in need.

As you have seen in the media, an earthquake has struck Myanmar and Thailand with devastating force. Medair is sending its emergency response team to provide aid to as many people as possible.

A large part of the infrastructure has been destroyed, but we are trying to reach the country as quickly as possible with essential survival kits. We need your help to cope with the scale of the devastation. This powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake was felt as far as China, causing considerable damage and numerous casualties. Myanmar already had the fifth highest level of needs in the world, with about 20 million people (1/3 of the population) requiring assistance. Up to 10,190,000 have been exposed to strong and very strong shaking. Those who have lost their homes due to the earthquake and need shelter, those injured or in need of urgent health care, as well as those deprived of access to clean water... All these people need help immediately.

We must act now to prevent further deaths. Our emergency response team has been deployed to assess and respond to the most urgent needs. Medair has a long history of responding to devastating earthquakes (Haiti, Nepal, Pakistan, Syria, Turkey, etc.).  Help us today to provide the vital aid that affected people need.
