A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, particularly near Mandalay, killing over 2,000 people and injuring thousands more. The disaster exacerbates an already dire humanitarian crisis in a country facing food shortages, civil war, and mass displacement. Aid efforts are complicated by ongoing conflict and damaged infrastructure, with many people displaced and in need of shelter as monsoon rains approach. The full extent of the devastation is still unclear, with reports of significant building damage and overwhelmed healthcare facilities.
