Condolences for the Earthquake in Central Myanmar

We are deeply saddened to hear the news of the magnitude 7.7 earthquake that struck central Myanmar on March 28, 2025, causing widespread devastation.
We extend our deepest condolences to those who lost their lives in this disaster and our heartfelt sympathies to all those affected.

This earthquake has caused extensive damage to buildings and infrastructure across Myanmar, forcing many people to evacuate and seek shelter. Additionally, the tremors have impacted neighboring countries such as Thailand and Laos, with aftershocks continuing to be reported over a wide area.

For students from Myanmar studying in Japan, we understand that this is an especially distressing time, as they worry about the safety of their families and friends back home. Seeing the altered landscapes of their hometowns through the news must be heartbreaking. Even from afar, we want to express our support and hope to ease their concerns in any way we can.

Currently, international support efforts, including those from Japan, are underway, with humanitarian aid and relief supplies being prepared. We sincerely hope that those affected can regain a sense of safety and stability as soon as possible.

Our thoughts are with everyone in the affected areas, and we pray for their safety and a swift recovery. We also hope that the necessary assistance reaches them as quickly as possible.
