"Extreme violence continues to afflict women daily in Myanmar, from airstrikes to shelling, to arson, to ground raids where rape is still used as a weapon of war. With no legal framework to reinforce & protect their rights, they are at grave risk" Important piece by Maggi here.

The junta's airstrike in Kawkariek township, #Karen State, left four killed, including children & 35 wounded. The strike targeted a house being used to teach young students. Airstrikes are frequently carried out with little warning or time to flee. www.bnionline.net/en/news/airs...

Children in Burma cannot even attend school safely as the junta deliberately undermines their access by not hesitating to drop bombs or conduct indiscriminate attacks. A generation of children risks losing educational opportunities, denied by the military.

My latest co-authored piece on the gendered impacts of the earthquake in #Burma: "There is a clear & significant gendered dimension to the impacts of disasters, made even more stark by the military’s mismanaged response and further aggravated by funding disruptions." myanmar-now.org/en/news/unce...

This direct undermining of local organizations and their capacity to deliver life-saving emergency assistance, as they have done for decades, is not only ignorant but plays into the junta's hand. By donating to groups with MoUs with the military, aid will undoubtedly be weaponized.

David Brenner@davidbrenner.bsky.social · last yr.

Patronising ignorance! International organisations either abide by the junta's restrictions on access (UNICEF, ICRC) or will not be given full access (MSF). The people of Myanmar unfortunately have to rely on their own humanitarian solidarity networks. By all means give to them! More here🧵1/6

“The junta’s callous contempt for human life, even in the face of widespread earthquake devastation, underscores its unsuitability to oversee aid—and more importantly, its willingness to manipulate any humanitarian response,” the civil society groups stated. myanmar-now.org/en/news/myan...

Myanmar civil society groups warn of weaponisation of aid as earthquake response intensifies

The groups say the regime must not be allowed to exploit overseas assistance or deny access to resistance-held areas hit by last Friday’s massive quake

Critical call urging localized assistance to survivors and victims of the devastating earthquake in #Burma. The junta is not a trusted or reliable partner in aid relief, especially as airstrikes by the military continue to target emergency areas. Assistance is most effective when channelled locally.

Myanmar military jets and paramotors have been conducting airstrikes post-earthquake as the junta seeks global aid for victims. ❌ These airstrikes must be stopped to ensure safe aid delivery. Governments should act now to save lives.
