Collateral damage in warfare refers to unintentional harm to non intended targets. This was not collateral damage, the junta is notorious for specifically targeting civilians, IDP camps, schools, medical and humanitarian workers

This is not new, This is happening so frequently that most of us onground have seen it many times.
International orgs/com are saying those responsible should be held accountable,yet wont say it was the junta. Give the dead respect. It was the junta.

This is an #update on the situation from ourFacebook. Since the #earthquake the number in need has skyrocketed, not just from the aftermath but also from increased targeted attacks, illness and weather. It now also seems #myanmar is once again being left or forgotten as orgs-
The Junta has long exploited crises like famine and disaster to gain power and legitimacy. Their call for aid is a strategy to rebuild Naypyidaw, not to help the people in need.

A week after Mandalay earthquake, with devastating damage and aftershocks strong, this is a traumatised and fearful community. We are determined to save survivors and help them rebuild: we need the world to share that commitment.
Under dictatorship, Myanmar is hardly surviving and almost dying. Junta restricts foreign aids and provides no support for rescue and emergency help to quake victims. The int’l community needs to directly support civilians on-ground.
URGENT HELP MYANMAR
#MyanmarStillNeedsHelp
While providing aid and search and rescue after the catastrophic #earthquake we are seeing attacks happening near and over areas we are aiding in sagaing and other locations.
The junta is continuing to attack while civilians are still under rubble.
#WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar
Apocalyptic scenes from Mandalay, MM. Only seeing small snippets of what is happening, given minimal internet or electricity. Supplies of food and water running scarce. Lack of machinery or govt support to find people under buildings.

#WhatsHappeningInMyanmar#MyanmarEarthquake La situació a #Sagaing és crítica. Aigua potable, medecines, menjar preparat i cuinat. Sense informacions. Milers de morts I feritsasense confirmar. Gent encara sota les runes. Equips de rescat que no arriba.
More than 1,000 people are now known to have died in Myanmar’s earthquake and the search goes on. Meanwhile, the junta is reported to have continued air strikes against people’s forces even in affected areas. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
The junta could have scored easy political points just by doing the most basic search and rescue work. But no, they don’t even do it.
They are doing LITERALLY NOTHING. You won’t also see any soldiers trying to help Mandalay. Because there are NONE. They could easily score points, but they are not even pretending to do it.
400 billion MMK set aside by NLD government for natural disasters was handed to cronies in 2022.
This is a man-made disaster on top of a devastating natural disaster.
There are two things impacting us that are not visible to int’l media -
1. Internet access - Junta needs to reopen internet access in many regions and remove the blockage of sites like Facebook and Twitter.
2. Medical doctors - many medical doctors remain in prison even in Mandalay.
#whatsHappeningInMyanmar#MyanmarEarthquake És aterridor llegir aquests tuits i encara més quan saps que serà veritat i que una Junta Militar colpista en el poder no ferà res i els seus ‘amics’ Rússia i Xina que els ajuda a matar dissidents deixarà de vendre-li armes ?
If you are covering about Myanmar earthquake, make sure people know that the junta is bombing NaungCho (a town in Mandalay region).
We need to finish this despicable junta.
THEY ARE BOMBING PEOPLE WHEN THE EARTHQUAKE IS HAPPENING.
No exaggeration. Just facts.
Now is the time to help Myanmar win its battle for democracy https://t.co/c71QmiXMjP Un article per llegir. El poble de #Myanmar continua demostrant el seu coratge lluitant contra exèrcit Junta Militar colpista. Ara ja és l’hora que rebi l’ajuda que demana.
