Over 3,000 individuals have lost their lives due to the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that hit Burma last week. This disaster has destroyed thousands of buildings and has further deepened the ongoing humanitarian crisis in the country.

The military-led government of Burma reported that the death toll from Friday’s earthquake has increased to 3,085, with 4,715 people injured and 341 more reported missing.

The U.N. stated, “The earthquake has severely damaged infrastructure, leading to a spike in patient numbers and making healthcare access nearly impossible in the most affected areas. Thousands urgently need trauma care, surgeries, and treatment for disease outbreaks.”

The World Health Organization assessed so far that four hospitals and one health center had been completely destroyed, while another 32 hospitals and 18 health centers had been partially damaged.

More than 1,550 international rescuers were operating alongside locals on Thursday, according to a statement from the military. Rescue supplies and equipment have been sent by 17 countries. 

Myanmar’s military seized power in 2021 from the democratically elected government of Aung San Suu Kyi, sparking what has turned into a civil war. 

The quake worsened an already dire humanitarian crisis, with more than 3 million people displaced from their homes and nearly 20 million in need even before it hit, according to the U.N. 

In Bangkok, Thailand, where the quake brought down a skyscraper under construction, the search for survivors and bodies continued as Gov. Chadchart Sittipunt said a possible sound of life was detected in the rubble. By mid-afternoon there on Thursday, more than 144 hours after the earthquake, nobody had been found.

Twenty-two people were killed and 35 injured in the city, mostly by the collapse of the unfinished building.
