I was just in Myanmar. The monasteries affected by today's earthquake were full of families displaced by fighting. A tragedy on top of a tragedy. IFRC will scale up its response immediately, in coordination with ICRC, and in support of Myanmar Red Cross.

Our aid workers were killed and thrown into a mass grave in Gaza. Our staff’s red uniforms should have protected them. Instead they became their death shrouds. This should never happen again. For the sake of humanity. My op-ed in The Guardian: bit.ly/3YiQZpA

📽️ Local responders are vital in disasters. The IFRC supports before, during & after. A week before the #MyanmarEarthquake, IFRC helped prepare Sagaing with relief for 8,000 households and is now raising funds for Myanmar Red Cross We stand by Myanmar's recovery & thank donors

The IFRC teams are on the ground, carrying out needs assessments with the Myanmar Red Cross in areas struck by the March 28 Earthquake. They are providing food, building temporary shelter, fixing toilets, and distributing clean drinking water to thousands of affected families.

The first response is always local. For 2 weeks, Myanmar Red Cross staff and volunteers have been delivering water, shelter, and first aid to people affected by the earthquake. IFRC is supporting with money, coordination, and relief supplies. Thank you to the fantastic team!

A major crisis is developing in #Afghanistan As large numbers of people cross the border from Pakistan. They face an overwhelmed health service, lack of shelter, and hunger. IFRC-DREF will enable افغاني سره میاشت to assist at the border As we plan for the long response.

Since the earthquake, IFRC has delivered 200 metric tonnes of relief items into Myanmar - hygiene parcels, tarpaulins, shelter kits. With support of the IFRC network, Myanmar Red Cross is purifying 30 000 litres of water per day, is serving hundreds of patients every day from

"ASEAN must engage constructively in Myanmar's recovery—a vulnerable country already full of displacement, and might soon have 300,000 more destitute people. That's not good for the region," @Melisa_Idris speaks to Alexander Matheou IFRC Asia Pacific #ConsiderThis bit.ly/3W7Ckg2

#MyanmarEarthquake: We're delivering urgent aid—food, water, shelter, medical care, hygiene—to keep people safe and dignified. Next challenge: helping 15–20K households return home & invest in local capacity as preparedness for future crises. Alexander Matheou, Regional Director of

With medicine supplies running low, urgent support is needed to help the افغاني سره میاشت respond on the ground. Over 20,000 people have crossed into #Afghanistan via Spin Boldak as of April 1. Many arrive in distress, some children visibly traumatised. #AfghanistanCrisis #IFRC

Thank you, EU Humanitarian Aid | Asia-Pacific 🇪🇺. This is one of the most alarming crises in Asia Pacific and yet it is under reported and under funded. We're grateful for your support which will enable critical health and relief work.

Thank you, 日本赤十字社 and MOFA of Japan for productive discussions about humanitarian crises across Asia Pacific and about opportunities for collaborating with IFRC on the responses. 🇯🇵 is a strong partner in both emergency response and long term resilence work.

Funding pressure will now force a rethink about how to sustain services in the world's largest refugee camp. Options are limited, but there are some worth exploring. My thoughts below in The New Humanitarian thenewhumanitarian.org/opinion/2025/0…

Thank you, Indian Red Cross Society, for providing support in the aftermath of this tragic plane crash. Our thoughts go out to all those affected and especially to all those who have lost loved ones. IFRC
