Myanmar’s earthquake catastrophe is now known to have killed more than 3,600 people and injured more than 5,000.
The toll is still rising, says the UN Children’s Fund, UNICEF, which is on the ground providing vital assistance to the most vulnerable individuals who’ve lost everything.
UN News's Daniel Johnson has been speaking to the UN agency’s Chief of Social Policy, Bjorn Gelders. He says that about 6.3 million people need help urgently - before the monsoon rains come – and for a long time afterwards, too.
