A devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar last Friday, resulting in over 2,000 fatalities and leaving survivors in dire need of food, water, and shelter. Aid groups report that many are sleeping outdoors due to fear of aftershocks, highlighting an urgent need for tents and medical care. Ongoing civil conflict and damaged infrastructure are severely hindering rescue and relief efforts. In Bangkok, search operations continue in the rubble of a collapsed skyscraper, with 13 confirmed deaths and 74 individuals still missing. Initial investigations suggest substandard steel may have contributed to the building's collapse. (PC: Reuters)
