Myanmar Earthquake

On the 28th of March 2025, Myanmar suffered a deadly earthquake of magnitude 7.7 – 7.9. With the epicentre close to Mandalay, the country’s second largest city, Myanmar was damaged extensively – more than 5,000 were killed, over 11,000 were injured and hundreds have been reported missing. This marks the second deadliest earthquake in Myanmar’s modern history, and the most powerful to hit it since 1912. Humanity First International has been on the scene providing medical attention to the injured, while also supplying citizens with temporary shelter and ration packs. Thousands of people having been displaced means that this humanitarian aid is often the difference between life and death for them and their families, and without your help, our deployment would not have been possible.

Turkey Earthquake

2023 marked a fearsome earthquake for the residents of both Turkey and Syria. A magnitude 7.8 earthquake hitting both countries with extreme force, rattling the ground and collapsing homes and infrastructure. The level of damage caused was about the size of modern day Germany, with over 14 million people having been affected by the catastrophe – the confirmed death toll in Turkey was 53,537. Disaster Relief was deployed in the area almost immediately to aid with the situation. Along with providing health packs, medical attention and rations, Humanity First International recorded extensive footage of the destruction in order to raise awareness for the earthquake and raise funds. These measures allowed quality aid to flow through to Turkey and support the residents who so desperately needed it.

Ukraine Refugees

Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022 prompted the displacement of millions of Ukrainians who attempted to flee the oncoming Russian assault. The majority converged at the border between Poland and Ukraine, where refugee camps have been set up in order to accommodate tens of thousands of Ukrainian citizens who can no longer go back to their homes. Disaster Relief has been providing aid to the people as well as relieving the stress put upon the government and other charity organizations who are providing support to the refugees. Disaster Relief has provided over 60,000 meals so far to the Ukrainian refugees, with more food packs being distributed as we speak. As well as this, medical volunteers have been deployed at the border in order to provide the refugees with the best possible medical care they can receive. With your generous donations, we can continue this noble service for as long as it is needed.

Syria Refugees

Over a decade of conflict has resulted in Syria having the world’s largest refugee crises. Millions have been forced to flee their homes in search of safety, only to never find it as they become homeless and are unable to house themselves or their families in secure shelter. More than 7.4 million Syrians remain internally displaced in their own country, where 70 percent of the population needs humanitarian assistance and 90 percent of the population lives under the poverty line. Humanity First International has been providing aid to Syrian refugees who have taken shelter in refugee camps, providing medical attention and nourishment in the form of cooked meals. While this isn’t enough to combat the larger situation, it greatly helps in keeping these refugees safe and secure, allowing them the chance to one day turn their lives around for the better.

Natural Disasters

Floods

Ever-increasing climate change has resulted in the occurrence of floods becoming more and more prevalent. Coastal regions in Africa and Asia have been affected greatly by this – flooding can be incredibly damaging to infrastructure and especially crops, upon which people depend on for their livelihoods. Humanity First International has been investigating reports of flooding in these regions, and has been attempting to both provide assistance in order to relieve the residents of the effects of the damage caused while also supplying shelter to those who have had their homes destroyed.

Wildfire

Wildfires have been growing in occurrence over the last few years as climate change has become more and more apparent. The wildfires in Australia and America have ravaged much of the land, razing farmland, houses and claiming lives. As firefighters battle the blaze, Disaster Relief is present to supply shelter and security to those affected. Tents and food packs have been supplied, and legal aid has also been given to wildfire survivors so that they are rightly compensated for their losses.
