State -owned MRTV reported that the rescue in the city of Naypyitaw was carried out by a Turkish and local team and lasted more than nine hours. The 7.7 earthquake hit Friday the afternoon and overturned thousands of buildings, crashing bridges and roads. So far, 2,886 people have been reported to death in Myanmar and another 4,639 injured, according to MRTV of the state’s television, but local reports indicate much higher figures. The earthquake also shook the neighboring Thailand, which caused the collapse of a high building in Bangkok. One body was removed from the rubble early Wednesday, which totaled death in Bangkok to 22, with 34 injured, mainly on the construction site. Myanmar was wrapped by the civil war, and the earthquake makes a serious humanitarian crisis even worse, with more than 3 million people displaced from their homes and nearly 20 million in need, even before it hit, according to the United Nations. Claims of an attack on a Chinese Red Cross Convoy The Three Brotherhood Alliance, one of a powerful group of militia that took a large part of the country from the military, announced a unilateral ceasefire on Tuesday to facilitate the humanitarian reaction. The Shadow Opposition’s National Unit Government has already called a ceasefire for its powers. But attacks have continued since the earthquake. Recently, an opposition environment belonging to the Brotherhood Alliance reported that the army fired late Tuesday at a northern part of the Shan state near Ohn Ma Tee Village on a convoy of nine Chinese Red Cross vehicles. The Ta’ang National Liberation Army said the Chinese Red Cross brings supplies to Mandalay and reported its route to the military. Gen. However, military regime spokesman Zaw Min Tun told MRTV state-run MRTV that the convoy had not notified the authorities in advance of its route. While not mentioning the Red Cross, he said security forces shot in the air to ward off a convoy that refused to stop near Ohn Ma Tee Village, the site of the recent battles with the TNLA. On a question about the incident, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Guo Jiakun did not comment on the attack, but said: “Relief supplies provided to Myanmar by the Red Cross Society of China arrived in Myanmar and are on their way to Mandalay,” and adds that “rescue staff and supplies are safe.” China is incredibly economically important for Myanmar, and also one of the largest providers of the military weapons, along with Russia. On Tuesday, Tom Andrews, a Monitor on Law in Myanmar instructed by the UN-backed Human Rights Council, told X that military attacks should stop to facilitate help. “The focus in Myanmar must be to save lives, not to take,” he said. More international assistance heads to Myanmar countries have promised millions of help to help Myanmar and Humanitarian aid organizations with the monumental task ahead. Australia said on Wednesday that it offers another $ 4.5m, in addition to $ 1.25 million he has already committed, and that he had a quick reaction team on the ground. India flew help and sent two fleet ships with supplies, as well as about 200 rescue workers. Several other countries have sent teams, including 270 people from China, 212 from Russia and 122 from the United Arab Emirates. A Tri -Person Team from the US Agency for International Development arrived on Tuesday to determine how to respond best as a result of limited US resources as a result of reducing the foreign aid budget and the disregard of the agency as an independent operation. Washington said over the weekend it would give $ 2 million to first aid. The extent of devastation beyond major cities is still unclear that most of the details so far from Mandalay, Myanmar’s second largest city near the epicenter of the earthquake, and the capital, Naypyitaw, about 270 kilometers north of Mandalay. Many areas do not have power, telephone or cell connections and are difficult to reach by road, but more reports start in Singu township, about 65 kilometers north of Mandalay, 27 gold miners were killed in a cave, the independent democratic voice of Burma reported. In the vicinity of Inle Lake, northeast of the capital, many people died when houses built on wood styls in the water collapsed in the earthquake, the government’s official new light of Myanmar reported without providing specific figures.
