Description : Arnaud De Baecque, head of the ICRC delegation in Myanmar, explains the organization's immediate response following the devastating earthquake. In collaboration with the Myanmar Red Cross Society (MRCS) and its volunteers, the ICRC provided essential aid, including food, water, and shelter. He highlights that the earthquake added a new layer of vulnerability to communities already impacted by conflict and displacement, making the ICRC's role crucial in coordinating assistance and supporting resilience efforts. Arnaud De Baecque also emphasizes the commitment of local actors, who played a key role in recovery by clearing rubble, organizing food distributions, and helping one another, with minimal but impactful support from the ICRC. However, he stresses that while the emergency phase has been addressed, the long-term rebuilding process will require significant effort and continued support from the international community.
