When a powerful earthquake hit Myanmar on March 28, 2025, everything changed in an instant.
The walls shook. Homes were destroyed and schools collapsed. Families slept outside on sidewalks in intense heat for days, afraid to return indoors. Communities already living through hardship suddenly faced even more loss. The earthquake, the most powerful to hit Myanmar in almost a century, impacted more than 300,000 people, killed more than 3,600 and injured thousands.
