The huge earthquake of 7.7 people on Friday caused widespread destruction throughout the country – with fears that the death toll would actually be more than 10,000
Officials say the number of death in Myanmar was damaged by 3000 after the earthquake was destroyed in the country.
Junta Min Aung Hlaing said yesterday that there are 2,719 Confirmed deaths from an earthquake on Friday 7.7 channels. But with 4,521 people injured and 441, the American Geological Survey warned that “the number of deaths is more than 10,000 is a strong possibility” based on the earthquake and the size of the earthquake. Reports claimed that many bodies have accumulated in Mandalay II – near the center of the disaster – so that they are burned in piles. “
It is said that food and water supplies are diminished, raising fears of a wider humanitarian catastrophe. The country was already in a bloody civil war – since the army took power in a coup in 2021 – which has already seen more than 3.5 million people.
Myanmar remained silent yesterday for a minute in honor of the victims, only one moment of anniversary in a week of the national mourning announced by the Military Council. The officials said that the flags will fly in the half -way on the official buildings until April 6 “in sympathy for the loss of lives and damage.”
But after five days of the earthquake, rescue workers still find people who miraculously survived. Emergency services yesterday saved a 63-year-old woman from the ruins of a building in the Myanmar capital, Naybito-91 hours after she was buried under the remains of her building.
Her rescue came more than 24 hours after the workers withdrew a pregnant woman from the rubble three days from the disaster. Several rights groups, including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, have urged the military council to allow relief workers to immediately reach these areas.
“The Myanmar Military Council is still calling for fear, even in the wake of a horrific natural catastrophe that killed thousands,” said Brioni Lao, a deputy director of Asia in Human Rights Watch. She added: “The Military Council needs to be separated from its horrific practice and ensures that humanitarian aid quickly reaches those whose lives are at risk of an earthquake.”
The Military Council also attracted criticism to continue to open the villages on the villages even while the country is repeated from the disaster. Meanwhile in the neighboring Thailand, where the earthquake sent a 30 -storey tower block collapsing on the ground, rescuers continued to comb the survivors of the rubble.
The workers said yesterday that the American scanners discovered 70 marks that could lack deeply inside the ruins of the collapsed country auditing office in Bangkok. Ruamkatanyu Resue said: It was located in the middle of the collapsed building, between the 17th and 21st floors where most of the missing people were working.
Bangkok Vice Governor Tafida Camovg said it is unclear whether all 70 signs represent the missing persons. However, six human bodies were identified. She said that the building had taken, as the collapsed floors were lying on top of each other, so it was not known to any floor that everyone was running.
Rescuers said they are achieving the best progress they can, but they admitted that it was a struggle to reach the besieged people. Rescuers said that the 30 -storey building was under construction, so there was no complete scheme. The walls were about one meter, making the pits difficult.
Rescue workers hope to include search cameras in cavities to determine whether there are human bodies. The Bangopolitan administration (BMA) said that the confirmed losses of collapse were 13 dead and 19 wounds, with up to 80 missing people. Seven other deaths linked to an earthquake on Friday were reported via Bangkok in other locations.
