@LeongWaiKitCNA Even Al Jazeera reporter who’s on the ground in Mandalay said Myanmar Junta soldiers are pretending to help, but with zero efforts holding sub machine guns.
Taiwan says Myanmar’s junta has yet to respond to its offer of disaster aid in the aftermath of Friday’s earthquake. Junta boss Min Aung Hlaing personally greeted a rescue team from China, the regime’s main ally, on Sunday.

Sagaing, the junta is forcing local aid groups to seek permission & pass security checks before rescuing victims. Without approval, they are barred from helping. The military is restricting urgent emergency aid to affected civilians.

Sagaing Earthquake not only killed thousands of people, but also caused destruction upon Burmese historical, religious and cultural sites.
This is just too heartbreaking to see. 🧵
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.

The junta’s relentless persecution of healthcare workers opposed to its rule has been almost as devastating to hospitals as last week’s massive earthquake

Junta blocked a 126-member Taiwanese rescue team from aiding quake victims in Sagaing. The team waited 48+ hours but was denied entry, leaving civilians without critical help.
MYANMAR NEEDS HELP

Myanmar’s people are used to having to fend for themselves in the face of disasters. They are the ones who are trying to search for the trapped and recover the dead after the earthquake whose toll was far greater than the 1,600 announced so far. #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar
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.

“The search for survivors has been primarily conducted by the local residents without the aid of heavy equipment, moving rubble by hand and with shovels in 41-degree Celsius heat”. Such pain, such heroes. #WhatsHappeninglnMyanmar
