Sagaing Earthquake in Myanmar: Situation Report - 5th Edition

• As of 7 April 2025, over 3 500 people died, nearly 5 000 have been injured, and over 200 remain missing nationwide, according to publicly available figures.

• Across the affected areas, people continue to face significant health challenges, including trauma related injuries, mental health issues, and lack of access to medicines to manage their chronic diseases.

• WHO has been coordinating the Emergency Medical Teams (EMTs) through an EMT Coordination Cell (EMTCC) in Myanmar. Fourteen EMTs are currently operational in the earthquake-affected communities in Mandalay, Nay Pyi Taw, and Sagaing.
