Crowds jostled through traffic and braved scorching heat on Wednesday in a race to secure vital aid in a central Myanmar city ravaged five days ago by a deadly earthquake.AFP journalists saw hectic scenes as hundreds of desperate people lined up for aid distribution in the city, some running through traffic to join the queues.

In the aftermath of Cyclone Mocha, which devastated parts of Myanmar, residents of Sittwe are struggling to access food and aid due to blocked roads and communication disruptions. The cyclone, one of the strongest to hit the region in recent years, has left many in need, with the World Food Programme (WFP) reporting that they are unable to reach around 70% of the affected population in Rakhine state. Efforts to deliver aid are being hampered by the military government's restrictions on access and movement, exacerbating the crisis. Local volunteers and some international organizations are attempting to provide assistance, but the scale of the disaster and logistical challenges are overwhelming the relief efforts.
