Myanmar Junta Blocks International Media from Reporting on Earthquake, Citing Travel Difficulties

The military junta has barred international media from entering Myanmar to report on the aftermath of the devastating earthquake, citing difficulties with travel and accommodation. The announcement was made on March 30, as the country continues to suffer from widespread destruction, casualties, and displacement.

Following the 7.7-magnitude earthquake, which caused severe damage across multiple regions, several international news agencies requested access to report from inside Myanmar. However, the junta denied these requests, claiming logistical challenges.
