On March 2025, a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar's central Sagaing Region, followed by a 6.4-magnitude aftershock. The disaster has resulted in over 3,600 confirmed deaths and over 4,800 injuries. Relief efforts have faced significant challenges, primarily due to government-imposed access restrictions, limited funding, and constrained connectivity.

In April 2023, severe flooding in western Tanzania has claimed hundreds of lives, with the Talanda River overflowing and causing extensive damage to homes in the Sumbawanga District.

In recent years due to the crises in Afghanistan and more recently in Ukraine, tens of thousands of migrants are reaching the US to find shelter, resettling and forming a new life in shelters and other locations.
