Myanmar's rescuers work through rubble of a collapsed building following Friday's earthquake in Naypyitaw, Myanmar, April 1, 2025
HOPES were fading today of finding further survivors from last Friday’s massive earthquake in Myanmar.
Rescue workers said that a woman was successfully pulled from the rubble early today, 91 hours after being buried when the building collapsed in the 7.7 magnitude quake.
The earthquake’s epicentre was near the country’s second-largest city Mandalay, and so far the military-run government has reported 2,065 people killed, more than 3,900 injured and 270 missing.
