The people of Myanmar can’t seem to catch a break. Here’s my plea to the international community | Thin Lei Win

We have had to be resilient because no one has come to our aid. Myanmar needs tangible support before the humanitarian crisis claims even more lives

Two thoughts entered my head as soon as I saw that Myanmar, my home country, had been hit by an earthquake: Is everyone OK?", followed by, We just can't catch a break".

My loved ones thankfully turned out to be badly shaken but physically OK. There were material losses but nothing compared with what so many others are going through.
