Myanmar’s opposition group, the shadow National Unity Government (NUG), which spearheads the resistance movement against the military junta, has made a significant decision by announcing a unilateral partial ceasefire. Their goals include facilitating humanitarian relief efforts for those impacted by the recent earthquake, which has resulted in over 1,600 fatalities, and further casualties are unfortunately expected.

This noteworthy proclamation comes in response to the junta’s ongoing airstrikes, which have been notorious even in the wake of the calamitous earthquake that struck on Friday. The social and political unrest in Myanmar continues to intensify, casting a shadow over relief efforts.

Below is the correspondent’s report, Matt Hunt, shedding light on the current state of affairs from his position in Bangkok.
