Children in Burma cannot even attend school safely as the junta deliberately undermines their access by not hesitating to drop bombs or conduct indiscriminate attacks. A generation of children risks losing educational opportunities, denied by the military.
The National Unity Government (NUG) ordered all schools under its administration to temporarily close on Sunday until further notice as a precaution against regime airstrikes.

This direct undermining of local organizations and their capacity to deliver life-saving emergency assistance, as they have done for decades, is not only ignorant but plays into the junta's hand. By donating to groups with MoUs with the military, aid will undoubtedly be weaponized.
Patronising ignorance!
International organisations either abide by the junta's restrictions on access (UNICEF, ICRC) or will not be given full access (MSF).
The people of Myanmar unfortunately have to rely on their own humanitarian solidarity networks. By all means give to them!

Critical call urging localized assistance to survivors and victims of the devastating earthquake in #Burma. The junta is not a trusted or reliable partner in aid relief, especially as airstrikes by the military continue to target emergency areas. Assistance is most effective when channelled locally.
