A powerful earthquake struck Myanmar, resulting in a death toll of 694 and 1,670 injured. International aid has begun to arrive in the country, with countries like China, Russia, and the U.S. offering assistance. The United States Geological Survey predicted a death toll exceeding 10,000 people in Myanmar, with losses greater than the country’s GDP. Traditional buildings in Myanmar are seen as less potentially deadly than concrete structures. In Thailand, where the quake also caused damage, a rescue mission is underway to save construction workers trapped in a collapsed 33-story tower. Nine deaths and 101 missing people have been reported in Bangkok, with rescue efforts ongoing to find survivors. Various countries and organizations are sending rescue teams, equipment, and medical aid to assist in the search for survivors in both Myanmar and Thailand. Despite the initial devastation, efforts are ongoing to save lives and support those affected by the earthquake.
