Earlier this morning, a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar, with tremors felt across both Myanmar and Thailand. An aftershock of 6.4 magnitude soon followed, adding to the devastation.

The Salvation Army is present in both countries, assessing the situation and preparing to provide much-needed relief and support.

Major Florence Shein, Under Secretary for The Salvation Army’s South Pacific and East Asia Zone, who is originally from Myanmar, shares: ‘This is the worst earthquake that has hit Myanmar in many years. My heart goes out to the many people who are affected by this. Amid all this tragedy, it is good to know that The Salvation Army has a presence in the country and will be able to provide relief support.’ Now, more than ever, we need the power of community to help rebuild and recover.

The Salvation Army is grateful for the global financial and prayerful support for this tragic situation.🙏

Severe Tropical Storm Trami, known as Kristine, made landfall in the province of Isabela in northern Luzon in the Philippines on 24 October 2024.

The Salvation Army Legazpi Corps was severely affected in southern Luzon. Corps officer Lieutenant Aristotle Casumpang reports on how some regions in the Philippines experienced 'the calamitous effects of Typhoon Kristine. The storm caused widespread devastation across the Bicol region, central Luzon and northern Luzon. Its destruction has been significant in Bicol region, impacting 119,257 families, including members of our local church community in Legazpi, Albay.’

🏠 With assistance from the barangay local government unit, The Salvation Army successfully distributed meals to 790 individuals, including 310 children, at three evacuation sites in Barangay San Roque, Legazpi, Albay.

🙏 We pray for the millions affected in the northern Philippines and the local community members.
