Following last Friday’s massive earthquake in Myanmar, UN humanitarians are on the ground to support survivors and the affected communities.
The World Food Programme (WFP) started its first distributions in the capital, Nay Pyi Taw, within 48 hours of the quake itself. It is also on the ground at the epicentre in Sagiang – and in Myanmar’s second city of Mandalay, assisting thousands of families in desperate need.
But the UN needs much more funding from the international community to address the enormous needs, as WFP’s Country Director Michael Dunford told UN News’s Vibhu Mishra.
