On 30th March, we announced up to £10 million of UK support to respond to the devastating earthquake in Myanmar. Our support will be channelled through long-standing local partners, who are able to operate across the earthquake-affected area. On 3rd April, we also announced our support to the Disaster Emergency Committee's efforts to do more for people in desperate need in Myanmar. We are matching public donations pound-for-pound up to £5 million, meaning the public's support will go even further. On 4 April, we announced a further £10 million of funding, bringing our total response to up to £25 million.

We are aware of recent reports of the Myanmar military conducting airstrikes in the aftermath of the earthquake and are actively investigating this with partners. Since the 2021 coup, we have consistently condemned airstrikes. On 2 April, the Myanmar military announced a temporary ceasefire until 22 April, which we welcome, as we do all other recent ceasefires. We now call on the Myanmar military, and all other parties to the conflict, to fully respect the ceasefires and allow full, safe and unhindered humanitarian access.

On 30th March the UK announced up to £10 million worth of life saving support to Myanmar in response to the earthquake. As well as delivering the humanitarian assistance via local partners, the package includes support in conjunction with other international partners to the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF). This will fund life-saving support to some of the most urgent humanitarian needs. On 4 April, we announced a further £10 million of funding, bringing our total response to up to £25 million.
