Quiet New Year Amid Ruins

Despite the festive spirit usually associated with Myanmar's new year, this year is different. People marked the start of the "Thingyan" festival camped in the ruins of last month’s devastating earthquake. The usual lively water festivities are muted as families struggle with loss and displacement. With over 3,600 lives lost and 5,200 buildings destroyed, surviving the aftermath is a daily challenge. Yet, amidst the tents and debris, hope lingers in small acts of tradition as families try to navigate these tough times together. #MyanmarQuake #Thingyan #Resilience #HopeAmidstTragedy
