Thank you so much for your donation to the Myanmar Earthquake Appeal!
Your support is already in action, helping deliver life-changing aid and humanitarian assistance to those impacted by the Myanmar earthquake.
Thanks to the support of people like you, New Zealand Red Cross can support Red Cross teams on the ground to meet the urgent needs of the people affected.
With your help, we can continue to deliver assistance to those affected by the devastating earthquake in Myanmar and as they recover from this disaster. THANK YOU!
On Friday 28 March, Myanmar was struck by a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake, followed by strong aftershocks. Millions of people have been affected. Homes, buildings and power, water and communication systems have been severely damaged or destroyed.
People and families are now without access to necessities like shelter, clean water and medical care. Many people have lost their lives and thousands are injured. The need for urgent humanitarian assistance continues to grow.
Red Cross teams were on the ground immediately supporting rescue and response efforts, working to deliver critical humanitarian aid to those affected. Myanmar Red Cross is rescuing survivors, providing first aid, distributing emergency shelter supplies, and working to reconnect loved ones separated by the disaster. Their efforts are crucial in providing urgent relief to those affected, but more support is required as the needs of people continue to grow.
This heartbreaking disaster has struck Myanmar at a time when its people were already enduring the impacts of years of conflict and the destruction caused by the 2024 Typhoon Yagi.
How your support helps
Your generous donation can help the people affected by the earthquake in Myanmar, both in impacted and surrounding areas, in the aftermath of this devastating disaster.
Your support will provide humanitarian assistance to meet people’s most urgent needs and enable ongoing recovery efforts. This could include distributing emergency relief items and essential supplies, emergency shelter, and first aid. Your support could also help to deploy New Zealand Red Cross International Delegates if their expert skills are needed to help teams on the ground deliver vital aid to those in need.
Every donation counts and will support the immediate response and recovery efforts to this disaster.
Together, we can be there for people affected by this devastating earthquake and help to make sure they receive the life-changing help they desperately need.
Please donate today to help bring urgent relief, comfort and hope to those in need during this critical time. Thank you for your compassion and support.
Also, don’t forget that when you donate over $5, you can claim 33.33 percent back from IRD.
In the unlikely event that more money is raised than can be reasonably and efficiently spent on this emergency, any surplus funds will be used to help us prepare for and respond to other humanitarian disasters around the globe.
