Myanmar's military junta has said that 3,354 people died in the devastating earthquake that occurred in Myanmar on March 28. It is reported that 4,508 people were injured and 220 people went missing in the earthquake that destroyed buildings and infrastructure across the country. In addition, the UN aid chief has called on the world to help the disaster-stricken nation.
More than a week after the disaster, many people in the country are still homeless, forced to sleep outside due to damaged houses or fear of further collapse. The United Nations estimates that more than 3 million people may have been affected by this earthquake. Myanmar, which has been in the grip of a civil war for four years, has been put in more trouble by the earthquake.
The UN's top aid official interviewed earthquake victims in Mandalay, central Myanmar, on Saturday. Mandalay, the epicenter of the earthquake, has suffered more damage. After that, he wrote on the social network X, "The situation of destruction is terrible, the world should stand with the people of Myanmar in this situation." The airport was closed after the runway was damaged due to the earthquake. In Myanmar in 2021, the military overthrew the government in a 'coup'. It seems that the military government is trying to publicize the information inside the country, so we have to rely on the government media about the damage caused by the earthquake.
After the earthquake, Myanmar's military government declared a state of emergency in six places in the country and appealed for international assistance.
