the earthquake across the
nation of Myanmar

On 28th March an earthquake of 7.7 magnitude hit 10 miles north-west of Myanmar’s city Sagaing. The first earthquake struck at about 12:50 (06:20 GMT), a second earthquake struck 12 minutes later, with a magnitude of 6.4. Its epicentre was 18km (11 miles) south of Sagaing.

This is also near Myanmar's second-largest city, Mandalay, with a population of about 1.5 million people - and about 100km (60 miles) north of the capital, Nay Pyi Taw.

Aftershocks have continued since - the latest on Sunday was a magnitude-5.1 tremor north-west of Mandalay. At present it is estimated that 10,000 people have been killed.

Our Elim Global Partner in Myanmar is based near Yangon, which seems to have been largely unaffected by the earthquake. The church there is working to support those affected by the earthquake.

Additionally our partners Samaritan's Purse are deploying into the region, bringing healthcare facilities and supplies along with other practical aid.

We are launching an ERA Appeal to raise money for this work. Money will go first to our Elim Global Partner, and then to Samaritan's Purse.
