Last Friday’s 7.7-magnitude earthquake has left thousands of survivors in urgent need of humanitarian aid in southern Shan State’s Nyaung Shwe Township, local sources told Myanmar Now on Tuesday. 


“Nearly every village needs help,” a humanitarian volunteer said. “There are many essentials needed, including utensils.”


The earthquake killed an estimated 90 people in the township and is confirmed to have killed almost 3,000 in the country, with the confirmed death toll expected to rise.
