"The military simply doesn’t want aid to get through to areas controlled by the resistance," SAC-M's Chris Sidoti told @abcnews last week.
"For the military, every catastrophe is an opportunity. An opportunity to penalise those that oppose it." #Myanmar#Earthquake
Myanmar should be celebrating Thingyan - new year - right now. Four people were reported killed in a junta bombing at Kani Township and many more wounded, including Buddhist monks. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
National Week of Mourning and Solidarity
Following the devastating earthquake in Sagaing on March 28 that shook the world, aftershocks continue to disrupt lives, homes, and communities. The people affected are now also facing fear and uncertainty under the ongoing oppression and violence of a ruthless military regime, devoid of humanity.
As families in earthquake and conflict-affected regions endure daily hardships, we call for a compassionate response from April 13 to 20 — a week to send prayers, heartfelt support, and tangible aid to those impacted. Let us stand together, unwavering, in our journey toward a safe, free, and federal democratic nation.

@EUMyanmar Pls ensure any aids from the EU (in any shape or form) will not fall into the junta’s hands since they’ll abuse them & will weaponise them. The aids given via the junta will never ever reach the victims on the ground whom the junta relentlessly keeps trying to kill for >4 years!
In light of recent events, the EU would like to express our solidarity and sorrow for those who will not be able to welcome the new year with their loved ones this Thingyan.
We have stood with the people of Myanmar since 1996, and will continue to do so. We remember the lives lost in the past years, and we commit to supporting the people's vision of a brighter future.
@KenRoth The junta hasn’t stopped bombing for even a few hours even after this earthquake. Well..,. at last, the UN appears to know about that after handing millions of dollars into junta’s pockets for aids which the junta will definitely use to buy more weapons & jet fuel to keep bombing
The UN berates the Myanmar junta: At a moment when the sole focus should be on ensuring humanitarian aid gets to disaster zones devastating by the recent earthquake, the Myanmar military is instead launching attacks against pro-democracy forces.

In a devastating act of aggression, the junta regime launched a midnight airstrike last night on the peaceful village of Saizang in northern Chin state, resulting in the tragic deaths of an entire family of six. A bomb was unleashed directly over their home, leaving only one survivor, who is now in critical condition.
Villagers have reported that there was no armed conflict in the vicinity at the time of the strike. Nevertheless, the junta employed a fighter jet to drop a bomb on this civilian-populated area, raising serious concerns regarding human rights violations and the use of excessive military force.
Saizang village is situated within Tedim township in northern Chin state of western Myanmar, highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis faced by civilians in the region.

Since the devastating Sagaing earthquake, 72 civilians were killed by the military junta airstrikes & heavy weapons attacks despite their ceasefire announcement. Sadly, Sagaing and Mandalay regions were the worst hit. #MyanmarEarthquake#myanmarearthquakecrisis
@UNinMyanmar Questionable integrity. Recent scandal. Now going only to places where the junta asked her to do, no engagement with people’s government, NUG to help aids flow to resistance-controlled areas, no mention of junta’s continuous air strikes even after earthquake - USELESS for us!
Even as the UN Security Council was welcoming ceasefire announcements in Myanmar, military attacks continued in earthquake ravaged areas. It is time for a UNSC resolution demanding that all military operations stop and obstructions to the delivery of aid be lifted immediately.
Many people across #Myanmar still face dire conditions after the #earthquakes—damaged homes, power & water cuts, unsafe shelter. While response efforts are ongoing, rains are underway, putting those sheltering in the open increasingly at risk.
