Overview of impacts
On March 28th, a devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, affecting nearly 900,000 people. The hardest-hit areas include Mandalay, Nay Pyi Taw, Sagaing and Shan State. The damage is catastrophic, with over 1,600 homes, 670 monasteries, 60 schools and 3 bridges destroyed. Vital services such as healthcare, electricity, food, water and telecommunications have also been severely disrupted. The true scale of the disaster is still unfolding. What is clear, however, is that urgent support is needed.
EXO Travel has already mobilised support and provided a $30,000 donation, but more assistance is needed.
