Myanmar is facing mass protests after the military seized power on 1 February. Democratically elected government leaders have been detained.
There has been international outrage at the turmoil amid reports of hundreds of protesters being killed, including children. The violence led charity Save the Children to proclaim: “Children are no longer safe in Myanmar.”
Across the world, people are working to try to donate to, and fundraise for, those on the ground.
