Thousands of Children in Myanmar Face New School Year Without Schools After Earthquake
Save The Children YANGON, 2 June 2025 – As schools reopen across Myanmar, tens of thousands of children are beginning the academic year in makeshift classrooms, with more than 2,500 schools still damaged or destroyed following the devastating earthquake in March, Save the Children warned on Monday. The earthquake, one of the most powerful to hit the country in recent years, compounded an already dire humanitarian situation. Even before the disaster, an estimated 6.3 million children in Myanmar were in need of humanitarian support due to ongoing conflict and climate-related crises. Among the affected is 10-year-old Zin Phyo*, whose home and school were both destroyed. “If I had magic powers, I would bring the houses and school back to how they were before,” he told Save the Children. “Some of my friends are afraid to come back to school. If I get the chance, I will clean my classroom and wear my school uniform proudly.” Save the Children is providing education kits—including school bags, stationery, and t-shirts—to help students like Zin Phyo continue learning. The organization has also distributed essential aid such as food and clean water, and established child-friendly spaces offering emotional support. Abdurahman Sharif, Senior Humanitarian Director at Save the Children International, stressed the urgency of the situation: “Despite the huge scale of the crisis, the international community’s response has been woefully inadequate. Education is lifesaving—it protects children in a safe space and provides a sense of stability.” He called for a coordinated and sustained global effort to address the immense and overlapping challenges faced by children and families in earthquake-hit regions. “They must not be forgotten,” he said. In addition to education, affected communities urgently require shelter, food, clean water, and psychosocial support. Save the Children, which has operated in Myanmar since 1995, continues to deliver emergency relief and protection services in many of the hardest-hit areas.

Weathering the Climate Debate: Meet the Young Meteorologist Challenging the Hysteria
It's real. The climate has been changing for billions of years, and it will continue to change, even after the zombie apocalypse and when there's no industrial activity at all. The scam is taking money from some and handing it over to others. -

Myanmar Junta Loses Four Outposts in Three Days Near Thai Border Amid Resistance Surge
“Operation 9/A Nyar Myae” In a major blow to Myanmar’s military regime, anti-junta forces have captured four strategic outposts along the Thai-Myanmar border in Karen State’s Myawaddy Township within just three days, according to military and resistance sources. The coordinated assaults, which took place between May 28 and 30, were led by a coalition of the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA) and People’s Defence Force (PDF) units under the National Unity Government’s Ministry of Defence. Another significant junta position in the area reportedly fell on May 23. "Each one collapsed within a day or two, which reflects how dire their situation is," said Padoh Saw Taw Nee, spokesperson for the Karen National Union (KNU), the KNLA’s political wing. Among the seized sites was a junta outpost in Baledo village, just south of the border town of Myawaddy, a key trading hub adjacent to Thailand. The escalation at the border coincides with rising military tension in central Myanmar. In Mandalay Region’s Taungtha Township, junta forces are amassing in an apparent bid to retake sections of a China-backed oil and gas pipeline corridor recently seized by resistance fighters. Around 150 troops arrived in Taungtha on May 29, with reinforcements of 60 more arriving days later. The pipeline is a vital energy link to China, and its seizure has reportedly drawn pressure on the regime to mount a counteroffensive. Launched on May 15, the anti-regime coalition's “Operation 9/A Nyar Myae” has seen coordinated attacks across Taungtha, Natogyi, Myingyan, and Nganzun townships. Fighters captured junta-held positions along the pipelines in Natogyi and have maintained control despite an anticipated regime response. The resistance has also conducted raids on junta offices and residences, including attacks on May 28 that targeted the local land records department. Fighting has since reached central Taungtha, where pro-junta channels reported fires and multiple casualties. In nearby Myingyan Township, resistance forces claim to have killed at least 50 junta-aligned personnel in operations between May 22 and 27. With both sides sustaining losses and junta airstrikes expected, local populations remain on edge. Myingyan District is considered a key resistance stronghold, strategically positioned between junta airbases at Tada-U and Meiktila, and bordering several volatile townships across Mandalay and Sagaing regions. As the fighting intensifies both along the Thai border and in central Myanmar, the military junta faces growing pressure on multiple fronts, while resistance forces continue to gain ground. -2025-06-03- 1
