Has anyone seen any organisation that is currently taking donations for Myanmar after yesterday’s earthquake? thanks

If you google there are few organisations. Unicef was the only one I recognised.

They say their existing teams are safe and accounted for and and they're preparing to respond, "should we be granted access." The political situtation in Myanmar being what it is, with government-held areas and rebel-held areas, I guess they can't yet be sure they can go in.

Also keep an eye on the Disasters Emergency Committee, which co-ordinates efforts by 15 organisations.

They don't yet have a specific appeal for Myanmar, so they are probably still organising their response.

Who we are

When large-scale disasters hit countries without the capacity to respond, the DEC brings together 15 leading aid charities to raise funds quickly and efficiently.

I just donated via WHO wanted a local one but seems to be quite difficult

my friends had shared an ig account focused on Myanmar that was receiving donations as well though it all seem a bit “unknown” for me so decided not to.
