A devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar near Mandalay, resulting in over 1,600 fatalities and extensive destruction. Rescue efforts are hampered by damaged infrastructure and ongoing civil conflict. Survivors face shortages of food, water, and medical supplies. International aid has begun arriving, with India launching 'Operation Brahma,' deploying 80 NDRF personnel and dispatching relief materials, including food, medicines, and shelter equipment. Despite these efforts, the situation remains dire, with many areas still inaccessible and the full extent of the disaster yet to be assessed. (PC: France 24 & Reuters)
