Muslims offer morning prayers to start the Eid al-Fitr festival, marking the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan on a road near destroyed mosques in Mandalay on March 31, 2025, three days after the deadly Myanmar earthquake.
Today's earthquake is yet another disaster for the people of Myanmar, who have already been suffering since the military coup launched four years ago. A strong international response is imperative to get aid to the many who were in the cross-hairs of this terrible quake.
Junta shut down these private hospitals in Mandalay and arrested medical doctors last 4 years, as medical doctors very strongly resisted their rule.
Press for their release, we need them back right now in Mandalay.
As if man-made crises-conflict, conscription, the coup, & funding cuts in #Myanmar—weren’t enough for the people, today a 7.7 magnitude earthquake has struck #Sagaing, #Mandalay, & beyond.
150+ casualties & counting. Amid all this, we must pressure the junta to halt airstrikes👇
We are only receiving information from other towns in the region now. Sagaing is affected very badly too but the people there do not have internet access.
Junta shut down internet access in many places in Sagaing and Mandalay regions, as the resistance is very strong there.
More than 140 people are known to have died in Myanmar’s earthquake, but the true toll is surely much higher. Much of central Myanmar is cut off and has also been devastated by war since the junta seized power. #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar
The scene at Mandalay Airport during the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck the Sagaing Region in northwestern Myanmar today.
Damage has also been reported in Naypyidaw, the administrative capital of the ruling military junta.
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.
At Mandalay General Hospital, the wards are filled with patients and people injured by the earthquake are awaiting treatment on the hospital compound, according to an individual at the scene.
“From the entrance to the hospital, all I could see was patients scattered everywhere,” a witness reported from inside the compound. “Some were covered in blood, and the doctors couldn’t do anything. There was no room to place patients on hospital beds because the hospital itself was damaged.”

Devastated beyond words. Myanmar now in ruins. Many are still missing, trapped inside collapsed buildings, waiting for help. Some places are struggling to receive enough aid. It’s heartbreaking to see so many lives shattered, yet rescue efforts continue.
Stay strong, Myanmar.
The illegal #Myanmar military junta is planning to summarily execute at least 7 activists, which is a crime against humanity. Int'l community must act NOW to stop junta's war of terror:
