A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake has devastated huge areas of Myanmar. People urgently need help to survive.
Hundreds of people are still missing. Many more have no access to the safe shelter, clean water, food and medical care they need to survive.
Countless roads and buildings have been destroyed, including hospitals, schools and water supplies. Network and power lines are down. People are cut off from vital services.
Myanmar was already facing a severe humanitarian crisis with a third of the population in need of humanitarian aid. Now the situation is catastrophic.
DEC charities are already on the ground in affected communities and are working hard to access remote areas. They urgently need more funds to scale up their work and reach the most vulnerable.
The UK Government will match pound-for-pound up to £5 million donated by the public to this appeal. Please give now.

Donate to help people in Myanmar survive after the earthquakes.
You can help people affected by the earthquake by making a donation and helping to raise money for the DEC appeal. This will allow DEC charities and their local partners to provide shelter, medical care, food, water, cash support and other lifesaving aid.
- £10 could provide urgently needed water to ten families for a day
- £20 could provide essential hygiene supplies for two families for three months
- £50 could provide emergency food for a family for one month
All donations will go to the DEC Myanmar Earthquake Appeal. Income earned on funds held (such as bank interest) may be used to fund the whole of the DEC’s work.
