Myanmar’s Rebuild Stutters Year After Deadly Quake
A 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck northern Myanmar on March 28, 2025, killing more than 3,800 people in Myanmar and around 90 in Thailand.
One year after the quake, some infrastructure such as roads and hospital awnings have been repaired, but significant structures like the Ava Bridge remain largely unrestored, especially in areas like Mandalay where reconstruction is mixed.
Several historical and religious sites, including a mosque destroyed during Ramadan in Bon Oe village, remain damaged or only temporarily repaired awaiting government approval or funding.
Survivors continue to experience trauma and face economic hardships, with many in various stages of rebuilding their homes and communities.
One year after the earthquake disaster, millions of people in Myanmar need further help. Reconstruction and care remain difficult - now still covered by the consequences of the Iran war.
