Burnet Institute extends our thoughts to the people of Myanmar following the devastating earthquake and aftershocks near Mandalay in the country’s north.
The earthquake was felt across the country, including in Yangon, where our Burnet office is located.
We are relieved to report that all our Myanmar staff members and their families have been accounted for.
We are providing support to our staff, students, and partners in Myanmar and are actively monitoring the situation and maintaining close contact with them to ensure their welfare.
As the situation becomes clearer, we are working to assess the best avenues to provide meaningful support and assistance.
We remain committed to supporting Myanmar in the days and weeks ahead, and our thoughts are with everyone affected during this challenging time.
