Catholic aid groups struggle to deliver relief in Myanmar amid military restrictions following a deadly earthquake.
Catholic aid groups are facing significant challenges in delivering relief to Myanmar following a 7.7-magnitude earthquake on March 28, which killed over 2,800 people. Military restrictions, including checkpoints and confiscation of supplies, are hindering aid efforts.
