The Humanitarian Coalition is deeply concerned about the situation in Myanmar and Thailand following devastating earthquakes that occurred in the early hours of March 28 — a 7.7 magnitude quake and an aftershock of 6.4 magnitude. Our thoughts are with the affected communities and first responders.
Members of the Humanitarian Coalition are monitoring the extent of the damages and injuries in the wake of this emergency. Most of our members are operational and are currently assessing the crisis in order to respond to the lifesaving needs of children and families.
