Pope announces the donation to the victims of the earthquake in Myanmar

The seismic shock has left more than 3,700 deaths in the Asian country

Pope Francis sent a donation to the populations affected by the earthquake that devastated Myanmar, in the South -East Asia, at the end of March, which left at least 3,700 deaths and tens of thousands of homeless.

In a declaration, it was said that the integral human development of the Vatican decided to send a “generous contribution to help people in the emergency phase”, but the amount has not been disclosed.

The transfer will be carried out through the Dicker and the Apostolic AlmSio, responsible for the charity works of the leader of the Catholic Church.

“The contribution tries to express the proximity of the pontiff to the brothers and sisters of Myanmar and joins the great aids that come from churches all over the world, also through religious congregations and Catholic organizations,” says the note.

Four years of civil war due to a military coup in February 2021, Myanmar is often remembered in the Pope’s speeches, which visited the country in November 2017.

The humanitarian crisis was aggravated by the 7.7 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale on March 28, which left a trail of destruction, especially in the central part of the nation. .
