The United Nations and its partners on Friday launched an appeal worth 275 million U.S. dollars to support Myanmar's response to the devastating earthquakes.



The fund is an addendum to the 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan to reach 1.1 million people with urgent aid and assistance, Stephane Dujarric, spokesman for the UN secretary-general, said at a daily briefing.



UN agencies, with its partners, have rapidly mobilized aid, including medical care, shelter, water, and food, to help people affected.



To further strengthen efforts on the ground, the UN Central Emergency Response Fund has allocated an additional 5 million dollars for the earthquake response, on top of the 5 million dollars already provided a few weeks ago, Dujarric said.
