The death toll from a 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar has risen to 1,002, with 2,376 injured and 30 missing. International aid has started to arrive in the country, with China, Russia, and the U.S. offering assistance. The earthquake caused significant damage to infrastructure and buildings, leading to casualties and injuries. The junta leader warned of more deaths and injuries as rescue operations continue in the affected areas. The United States Geological Survey predicts the death toll could exceed 10,000 in Myanmar, with losses surpassing the country’s GDP. The mix of modern and traditional buildings in Myanmar may impact the severity of casualties.
In Thailand, where the earthquake also caused destruction, a rescue mission is underway to find construction workers trapped under a collapsed 33-story tower in Bangkok. International aid efforts in Myanmar include a Chinese rescue team carrying medicine and equipment, as well as Russian rescuers and search dogs. President Donald Trump has pledged assistance to Myanmar.
In Thailand, nine people have died and 101 are missing in Bangkok, mostly laborers trapped in the rubble. Rescue efforts are ongoing, with drones used to search for survivors. Despite the devastation, Bangkok officials are determined to save lives and use all available resources in the rescue operation.
