How does the earthquake exacerbate the existing humanitarian crisis in Myanmar, specifically affecting access to aid and rescue efforts?

The earthquake's impact is exacerbated by Myanmar's ongoing civil war and pre-existing infrastructure damage from conflict and the Covid-19 pandemic. The devastation of hospitals and aid infrastructure, combined with damaged roads and airports, severely hinders rescue efforts and aid delivery, particularly in remote areas controlled by various warring factions. Millions are already displaced and living in poverty.

How has Myanmar's political instability influenced the response to the earthquake?

The earthquake's impact is exacerbated by Myanmar's ongoing civil war, which has damaged communication infrastructure and hindered rescue efforts. Poor communication, partly due to the junta's internet shutdown and destruction of communication towers, hampers coordination of aid and rescue operations. The junta's request for international aid is unprecedented given their past reluctance.
