Burma Earthquake
On 28th March Burma / Myanmar was hit by a major earthquake. It struck near Mandalay in central Burma, and was so powerful the whole country was impacted, as well as neighbouring countries.
Burma Action Ireland do not carry out fundraising activities - however, if you do wish to donate to a charity involved in the relief efforts, we recommend that you choose a charity carefully. The military junta has a track record of exploiting natural disasters for their own advantage by disrupting, suspending and manipulating the flow of essential supplies and humanitarian access. We urge that every effort is made to ensure that emergency aid, assistance and equipment for people in earthquake-affected areas are provided through civil society organisations (CSOs) and community-based organisations (CBOs) to ensure that it genuinely reaches the people in need. One such charity that we would recommend are Advance Myanmar - here is a link to their appeal: https://www.advancemyanmar.org/myanmar-earthquake-appeal/
Become a Voice for Burmese Civilians
Airstrikes, indiscriminate shelling, arrests, executions, torture, and sexual violence are among the horrific crimes that Burma's military junta are perpetrating on its civilian population since the attempted coup d'état in February 2021.
The people of Burma resolutely rejected the coup and remain defiant in their opposition to military rule.
