Myanmar Earthquake Survivors Left Without Food and Shelter as Death Toll Exceeds 2,700

A 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar on Friday, affecting a vast area and causing significant destruction. This disaster has exacerbated an already dire humanitarian crisis stemming from an ongoing civil war. The quake damaged roads and bridges, leaving many regions without power or telecommunications, which hampered rescue operations. Officials have reported at least 2,000 deaths, over 3,900 injuries, and 270 individuals missing, with these figures likely to increase. The extensive damage to infrastructure, combined with the ongoing conflict, has hindered relief efforts and sparked concerns about potential disease outbreaks as hope diminishes for the survivors.
