A devastating earthquake has struck Myanmar, leaving thousands in desperate need.
On March 28, 2025, a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar, causing widespread destruction across the Sagaing Region and Mandalay. Buildings have collapsed, infrastructure has been severely damaged, and countless families have been left homeless.
As of March 29, 2025, the death toll has risen to 1,002, with 2,376 individuals injured. The majority of fatalities have been reported in the Mandalay region, which is near the earthquake's epicenter.
Rescue operations are ongoing, and authorities fear that the number of casualties may increase as more bodies are recovered from the rubble.
"We were saying prayers when the shaking started... Three died on the spot."
