Survivors pulled from rubble 60 hours after Myanmar quake

  • The official death toll from a 7.7-magnitude earthquake in central Myanmar has reached 1,700, though estimates suggest it could exceed 10,000.
  • Five more survivors have been rescued nearly 60 hours after the quake, including four from a collapsed school and one from a hotel in Mandalay.
  • The earthquake caused widespread destruction, damaging buildings, roads, and bridges, which hampered rescue efforts, particularly in conflict zones.
  • International aid is arriving from various countries, including the US, China, and India.
  • Myanmar's ongoing civil war further complicates the situation, with reports of continued military airstrikes despite calls for a ceasefire to facilitate aid delivery.
