When Cyclone Mocha hit Myanmar, howling winds tore homes to pieces while torrential downpours submerged areas along the coast, flooding villages and leaving hundreds of thousands of vulnerable people without shelter.
UNFPA-supported health facilities and safe spaces for women and girls were extensively damaged — or destroyed entirely — by the storm.
“With the destruction of roads and my nearest clinic and expensive transportation costs, I cannot go to the city to receive antenatal care,” Nway Nway — who is pregnant and lives in the path of the cyclone — told us.

“ I’m so lucky that this mobile clinic comes to our door for pregnant women like us, ” she said. “There are many women who need urgent health care and support in affected areas.”
To reach women and girls like Nway Nway in even the most hard-to-reach areas, UNFPA is supporting mobile clinics, providing assistance such as health check-ups, prenatal and postnatal care, family planning, and psychosocial support. These clinics help ensure those grappling with the crisis can receive critical sexual and reproductive health care.
But over a month after the cyclone, humanitarian needs in cyclone-struck areas are still enormous. 20,700 women are pregnant, 2,300 of whom were due to give birth over the past month amidst the chaotic aftermath of the cyclone.
To meet the needs of more pregnant women living in cyclone-struck areas and others in need of shelter, health care, or other assistance, gifts from supporters like you are urgently needed.
Please: Make an emergency gift today to deliver lifesaving care and resources to women and girls recovering from crisis in Myanmar and beyond. [[link removed]]
