This Sunday, 6 July, marks 100 days since two powerful earthquakes struck central Myanmar, killing more than 3,700 people, injuring thousands more, and affecting over 1.3 million people.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and the Myanmar Red Cross Society continue to respond to the devastating impact of the disaster, as it enters a new and critical phase.
Red Cross teams are now seeing families begin to return home and restart their lives. But new threats are emerging, and urgent funding is needed to meet recovery needs.
The next 100 days will shape how people move from survival to recovery.
Spokespeople are available in Myanmar, Kuala Lumpur, and Geneva to mark the 100-day milestone and provide insights into the humanitarian situation and response.
Limited interview slots are available on Sunday, 6 July. Spokespeople will also be available throughout the week of July 7.
