Myanmar

Children and families in heavily impacted areas of the Southeast Asian country were already in need of humanitarian support even before the earthquake.

Save the Children and its partners are seeing the needs of children firsthand in communities with limited access to clean water in the aftermath of the devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake on 28 March.

Children living in the open in Myanmar after being forced from their homes by the deadly earthquake are at additional risk of heat related illnesses as temperatures in parts of the country climb to 40°C (104 F), Save the Children said.

A Myanmar/Thailand Staff account on the experience of children during and after an earthquake and psychosocial support with some guidance about earthquakes, what to do and how to talk about them, for children and families.

Save the Children is collaborating with partners to respond to the urgent needs of children and families in some of the affected areas.

The six impacted regions and state in Myanmar are home of over 28 million people, including an estimated 6.7 million children.

Children made up just under half - 44% - of predominantly Rohingya refugees leaving Bangladesh and Myanmar by boat in 2024 as the number of people taking to sea continues to rise.

Rohingya refugee children who have been forced to flee Bangladesh and Myanmar are now asking authorities in Indonesia for more freedom to leave.
