Description:

March 2025 - A 7.7 magnitude earthquake and a 6.4 magnitude aftershock struck central Myanmar on March 28, 2025, resulting in extensive destruction and loss of life. A state of emergency has been declared in six regions – home to over 28 million people. The earthquake compounds an already fragile situation driven by an ongoing conflict, displacement and past disasters. With GAC’s support, the Canadian Red Cross Society and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies are working to save lives and help reduce the suffering of people affected by the earthquake. Project activities include: (1) providing multi-purpose cash to meet basic needs and avoid negative coping strategies; (2) distributing in-kind relief items such as food, non-food items, and emergency shelter support; and (3) providing emergency healthcare and protection services, including mental health and psychosocial support

Organization:

Global Affairs Canada

Expected Results:

The expected outcomes of this project include: (1) increased access and availability of emergency health and protection services; (2) improved access to multi-purpose cash assistance to meet basic needs and to emergency shelter; and (3) mobilized in-kind humanitarian supplies successfully distributed to support earthquake-affected populations.

The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
