Dr. Margaret Harris, WHO spokesperson, reports severe damage to hospitals in Myanmar following the earthquake, with many facilities overwhelmed and three completely destroyed. Thousands have been injured, and the risk of infectious diseases is rising due to displaced populations lacking access to clean water and food. The WHO has issued an $8 million flash appeal, prioritizing trauma care, essential health services, and maternal and newborn health over the next 30 days. Emergency medical teams and supplies are being airlifted to the affected areas.
