Greetings in the Lord!

On March 28, 2025, a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Mandalay in central Myanmar, and the entire Myanmar was shattered, and about 80% to 90% of the buildings in major cities such as Mandalay and Naypyidaw collapsed. Numerous casualties were immense. As of April 1, more than 2,000 people had died, 350,000 were injured, 80,000 people are missing and 1.5 million were homeless.
