Myanmar quake toll exceeds 1600 so far. Rescue efforts're crippled by lack of tools, poor communication and ruined roads, while int’l teams remain restricted by the junta. More aids to people NOW.
MYANMAR NEEDS HELP

Junta goes on bombing quake-hit Myanmar. Aerial strikes hit Sagaing’s Pauk Township & Shan State’s Nawnghkio, both reeling from Friday’s earthquake. Damage & casualties unknown due to downed communication.

More videos of volunteers in Mandalay literally digging out people with their hands (a 10-month old baby and his mother).
ZERO HELP from the military junta. We are relying on ourselves (as has been the case since 2021).
Any help from int’l community is deeply appreciated.
Apocalyptic scenes from Mandalay, MM. Only seeing small snippets of what is happening, given minimal internet or electricity. Supplies of food and water running scarce. Lack of machinery or govt support to find people under buildings.

A citizen, who was stuck in the rubble for nearly two days, have been successfully rescued alive today by local rescue team and Singaporean rescue team at Thapikung block of Zamyothiri township in Naypyitaw - the political capital of Myanmar.
Myanmar earthquake's scared reality
The pains, suffering and agony of the affected families are immense, beyond what words can express.
In their time of grief and profound sadness, the survivors find support from the monks in Myanmar, who offer blessings and encouragement as the survivors sit and kneel down before the bodies of their loved ones on the street.
These families have faced a double tragedy: they lost their loved ones in a severe natural disaster and have also lost their homes for which the bodies of their loved ones lay on the street before proper burial service.

Junta weaponizes quake to kill more civilians. Local support groups from lower Myanmar, going to help Sagaing and Mandalay, were asked to return back at Mayanchaung Security Gate in Kyaikhto Tsp, Mon State.

💔A tragic scene, a son saying final words to his mum DB in the rubbles, while holding her hand tight. Just 38 seconds and pls listen with your heart. Waited 5 hours to get to see his mum DB.
I hope you can relate how 🇲🇲ppl lives are wrecked and helpless under junta right now.
The earthquake hit Myanmar the hardest—many lives lost, homes destroyed, yet the world seems more worried about Thailand. Please don’t forget Myanmar. We need help too.

If you are covering about Myanmar earthquake, make sure people know that the junta is bombing NaungCho (a town in Mandalay region).
We need to finish this despicable junta.
THEY ARE BOMBING PEOPLE WHEN THE EARTHQUAKE IS HAPPENING.
No exaggeration. Just facts.
#MyanmarEarthquake: I will be posting updates, firsthand observations, and thoughts from within the country in this thread. The situation is terrible, with aftershocks continuing, electricity outages in impacted areas, and (almost) no free press on the ground. The majority of local journalists have been exiled following the coup in 2021. With civil war ongoing, there are real concerns about how the junta will respond.

At Mandalay General Hospital, the wards are filled with patients and people injured by the earthquake are awaiting treatment on the hospital compound, according to an individual at the scene.
“From the entrance to the hospital, all I could see was patients scattered everywhere,” a witness reported from inside the compound. “Some were covered in blood, and the doctors couldn’t do anything. There was no room to place patients on hospital beds because the hospital itself was damaged.”

We are only receiving information from other towns in the region now. Sagaing is affected very badly too but the people there do not have internet access.
Junta shut down internet access in many places in Sagaing and Mandalay regions, as the resistance is very strong there.
