Pakistan has sent a second shipment of relief goods to Myanmar as the country continues to recover from a powerful earthquake that struck on March 28, 2025. The 7.7-magnitude quake has caused major destruction, taking over 3,450 lives and injuring more than 4,500 people. Many families have lost their homes and are in urgent need of help.
The latest consignment includes 35 tons of emergency supplies and was sent through air cargo. This brings Pakistan’s total aid to Myanmar to 70 tons so far. The relief items include food, medicine, tents, blankets, and other essential items for those affected by the disaster.
Pakistan’s Ambassador to Myanmar, Imran Haider, and embassy officials were present at Yangon International Airport to hand over the aid to local authorities. He expressed Pakistan’s solidarity with the people of Myanmar and said that more support will be given if needed.
The earthquake has made Myanmar’s already difficult situation even worse. The country has been struggling with a humanitarian crisis due to ongoing civil unrest, and the natural disaster has put extra pressure on local resources. Thousands of people are without shelter, clean water, and proper medical care.
The United Nations has called for urgent international help, urging countries and organizations to step in and support the recovery efforts. The global community is being asked to provide food, shelter, and medical aid to help Myanmar get through this tragic time.
Pakistan’s contribution is part of its continued commitment to help neighboring countries in times of need. The government has promised to stand with Myanmar and offer more help as the situation unfolds.
