The military government said on Saturday that the death toll in Myanmar rose to 1002.

The survivors of Mandalay, the second largest city in Myanmar, and their naked hands on Friday in desperate attempts to save those who are still trapped, lacking heavy machines and with the absence of powers.

In Bangkok on Saturday, rescue operations continued at the 33-storey tower collapse site, with 47 people missing or trapped under the rubble-including the workers from Myanmar.

The predictive modeling by US Geological Survey (USGS) estimated that the number of Myanmar’s death may exceed 10,000 and could exceed the annual economic product in the country.

A day after a rare invitation for international assistance, the head of the Military Council in Myanmar, the chief of General Min Min Aung Hinging, traveled to Mandalay steel near the earthquake center, which brought down the buildings and fires that caused some areas.

“The head of the state board of directors issued the authorities’ instructions to accelerate research and rescue efforts and address any urgent needs.”

Closed

A preliminary evaluation conducted by the National Unity Government in Myanmar said that at least 2900 buildings, 30 roads and seven bridges were damaged by the earthquake.

“Because of the major damage, NayPyitaw and Mandalay international airports are temporarily closed,” said NUG, which includes the elected civilian government residues launched by the army in the 2021 coup that sparked the civil war.

At the airport in NayPyitaw, the Myanmar capital designed for this purpose, a monitoring tower collapsed, making it unspeakable, somewhat on the knowledge of the situation for Reuters. It was not immediately clear whether there were any injuries.

The flights carrying relief supplies from India and rescue teams from China in Yangon, Myanmar’s commercial capital, fell instead of airports in Mandalay and Niabito.

Russia, Malaysia and Singapore were also sending downloads of relief and employees.

The Association of Southeast Asian States, a 10 -country bloc that includes Myanmar, said it realized the urgent need for humanitarian assistance. “The Asian is ready to support relief and recovery efforts,” the group said in a statement.

South Korea said it would provide an initial amount of $ 2 million in humanitarian aid to Myanmar through international organizations.

The United States, which connects a relationship with the Myanmar army, and offered its officials, including Min Aung Hinging, said it will provide some help.

Chinese President Xi Jinping by phone with the head of the Military Council said that the Chinese embassy in Myanmar on Saturday, and said that Beijing will provide an assistant of $ 13.77 million, including tents, blankets and medical emergency tools.

“No help coming”

The earthquake, which struck lunch at Friday, affected large areas of Myanmar, from the central plains around Mandalay to the hills of Shan, which parts of which are not fully subject to the control of the Military Council.

After being pulled from under the wall by other residents of Mandalay, HTET Min Oo, 25, said that he tried to wipe the ruins of building himself to save his grandmother and uncles – but he eventually surrendered.

“I don’t know if they are still alive under the debris,” he told Reuters. “After a long time, I don’t think there is any hope.”

Another resident on the phone said that the rescue operations in Mandalay were unable to match the scale of the disaster, and asked not to be named due to security concerns.

“Many people are trapped, but there is no help to attend simply because there is no power, equipment or vehicles,” he said.

Building workers are trapped in Bangkok

In Bangkok, 1000 km from the earthquake center, the authorities submitted on Saturday the efforts to find construction workers trapped under the rubble of the collapsed tower, using excavators, drones, and research and rowing dogs.

Anutin Charnvirakul said that all possible resources have been deployed to search for survivors and remove the bodies of the deceased.

“We always have hope,” he told reporters. “We are still working around the clock.”

Chloen Caynewy, 39, said that she rushed on Friday afternoon after she saw news reports that the building building where her mother and younger sister had collapsed.

“I called my sister, but regardless of the number of times I tried to contact her, there was no contact,” she said after a sleeping night on the site.

“I want to wait for my mother and my sister,” said Chraen, a construction worker. “I want to see their faces again.”

Anik Cyripianshajorn, a member of the Board of Directors of Engineers in Thailand, who helps the municipal authorities, said throughout the sprawling metropolis, where these earthquakes are rare, there may be up to 5,000 damaged buildings, including residential towers.

“We are going through hundreds of cases,” he said. “If we see cases where there is a potential risk, we will send engineers immediately.”
