AP visit to Myanmar highlights its struggle to rebuild after an earthquake while a civil war rages
Myanmar faces challenges rebuilding critical infrastructure after a 7.7-magnitude earthquake killed over 3,800 people amid ongoing civil war and restricted humanitarian aid.
- The Associated Press recently witnessed Myanmar laboring to rebuild roads, temples, hospitals, schools and government buildings as crews repair collapsed ceilings and shore up foundations after the March 28 earthquake that killed more than 3,800 people.
- Military airstrikes and artillery have continued, including on civilian targets and earthquake-affected areas, while the United Nations estimated more than 3.5 million displaced and 20 million needing assistance.
- Across the Mandalay region, nearly 29,000 homes, 5,000 Buddhist pagodas and 43 bridges were damaged, and nearly 200 bodies have been recovered, including seven in the past week.
- Attacks have slowed or halted humanitarian aid delivery, and recent cuts to foreign aid by U.S. President Donald Trump have left U.N. organizations struggling to meet needs.
- With Western sanctions squeezing the economy, Aye Min Thu said assistance could help `build a resilient society` so that "future generations will not be easily destroyed," while up to 500 workers repair five key buildings at the parliament complex in Naypyitaw before the election.
