These incidents cannot be reduced to past events. They reflect an ongoing crisis where communities remain at risk. The loss of young lives demands continued attention, accountability, and a refusal to look away from the reality on the ground.

Last year in Mogok, military airstrikes killed three children and injured four others when bombs struck a futsal field. Children at play became victims of a calculated attack. This was not an accident, but part of a broader pattern of violence against civilians in Myanmar.

A year has passed, but the impact of the earthquake in Myanmar remains. Homes collapsed, families were torn apart, and communities were left to rebuild through grief. Today, we remember those lost and stand with all those continuing the long road to recovery.

Families were registered on Sept 9, 2025, but displacement is escalating fast. In just days, the number of families doubled. Needs are outpacing resources. Shelter and food are now a race against time.

Today we mark 5 years since the military coup in Myanmar. We pause for those killed, jailed, and displaced. We stand with every community still living through violence and instability. And we commit to action—because solidarity must be more than words. Myanmar is not forgotten.
