The work has been allocated 50,000 euros from FCA&#8217;s disaster fund.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The earthquake struck on Friday, March 28, in the afternoon local time. The main quake had a magnitude of 7.7 with the epicentre near Mandalay, Myanmar&#8217;s second largest city. The extent of the damage is still being determined, but feared to be grave. Damage is also significant in the Thai capital, Bangkok. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FCA has been operating in Myanmar since 2014 with mainly humanitarian assistance and support for education. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The disaster comes at a time when the United States has significantly cut funding for humanitarian aid to Myanmar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Fortunately, our personnel are safe, but we are deeply concerned about the consequences of the earthquake in the already difficult humanitarian situation in Myanmar. We are closely monitoring the development of the situation and are ready to help as needed,&#8221; says Tomi J\u00e4rvinen, FCA Executive Director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FCA is raising funds to help earthquake victims in Myanmar and is preparing to launch an emergency relief operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"is-style-ingress\">More about our work in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kirkonulkomaanapu.fi\/en\/where-we-work\/myanmar\/\">Myanmar<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For more information and interview requests: <\/strong><br><br>Head of Communications, Erik Nystr\u00f6m<br>erik.nystrom@kua.fi, +358 40 143 4464 <br><br>Head of Humanitarian Aid, Jan De Waegemaeker<br>jan.de.waegemaeker@kua.fi, +358 50 574 0481<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>FCA helps earthquake victims in Myanmar \u2013 damage feared to be huge Finn Church Aid is launching an emergency relief operation to help earthquake victims in Myanmar.
