Manila: The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has approved a $100 million aid package from the Asian Development Fund (ADF) to deliver integrated humanitarian assistance and build long-term community resilience for the people of Myanmar. The support follows a $3 million emergency relief grant provided after the 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar on 28 March 2025. According to Asian Development Bank, this $100 million aid package, ADB's largest grant for the people of Myanmar, will deliver food, water, shelter, and medical care to families in desperate need, while also supporting long-term livelihoods, jobs, and community resilience, said ADB President Masato Kanda. Backed by the ADF, the aid package underscores our commitment to supporting the most vulnerable across Asia and the Pacific. Before the earthquake in March, the United Nations 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan for Myanmar estimated that 4.3 million people were in urgent need of aid and social protection. The earthquake drove that fig ure up to 6.3 million.
