The death toll from a 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar has risen to 1,002, with 2,376 injured and 30 missing. The disaster has caused significant infrastructure damage, leading to casualties and injuries among civilians. International aid from countries like China, Russia, and the U.S. has begun to arrive in the region, as rescue operations continue to search for survivors. The United States Geological Survey predicts that the death toll could exceed 10,000, and the country’s losses could surpass its GDP. The mix of modern and traditional buildings in Myanmar may affect the impact of the disaster. Rescue efforts are also underway in Thailand, where a 33-story tower collapsed and trapped construction workers. Assistance from various countries is being mobilized, with China sending a team to search for signs of life and Russia sending experienced rescuers and doctors. In Thailand, nine people have died and 101 are missing, with authorities using all available resources to locate survivors. Despite the devastation, efforts to save lives and support affected communities are ongoing and intensifying.
