Latest Update: Myanmar Earthquake Disaster – Over 1,000 Dead Massive Rescue Efforts Underway
Massive Earthquake Devastates Myanmar: Over 1,000 Dead, Thousands Injured A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar just over 24 hours ago, leaving widespread devastation in its wake. The disaster has caused significant loss of life, injuries, and severe damage to infrastructure, particularly in Mandalay, the epicentre of the quake. The situation remains dire as rescue operations continue and aftershocks shake the region. Rising Death Toll and Ongoing Rescue Efforts The official death toll now stands at 1,007, according to Myanmar’s military junta, with 2,389 people injured and 30 still missing. Among the hardest-hit areas is Kyaukse in the Mandalay region, where buildings crumbled under the tremors. One of the most tragic incidents occurred at the West Mye Mye Kyi pre-school, where 12 children and a teacher lost their lives. Rescue workers fear that more people remain trapped under the debris, with unconfirmed reports suggesting that up to 50 children and six teachers were inside when the building collapsed. In Mandalay, officials have reported that 1,591 houses have been destroyed. In Yangon, rescue teams continue searching for survivors buried under collapsed buildings. Meanwhile, in Bangkok, authorities are struggling to save at least 15 people believed to be alive beneath the rubble of an unfinished high-rise in the Chatuchak district, which collapsed following the quake. International Efforts in Bangkok Rescue Operations We can bring you more from Bangkok, after a flurry of activity at the site of a collapsed building, where at least 15 people are believed to be alive under the rubble and 100 others are missing. A growing number of international players have been pitching in for the rescue of those trapped in the Bangkok building collapse, members of China's Blue Sky Rescue team—the country's largest volunteer rescue team—have entered the site. Meanwhile, a BBC reporter spoke to US army officers emerging from the rescue site. "We are just trying to bring as many resources as we can to help out our allied partner... we are just trying to get a handle on it right now," one said. Widespread Power Outages and Infrastructure Damage Millions across Myanmar are now facing prolonged power outages. The Yangon Electricity Supply Corporation (YESC) has announced that residents in the country's most populous city will receive only four hours of electricity per day due to severe damage to the power grid. In Mandalay, complete blackouts and downed telephone lines have further complicated rescue and recovery efforts. Officials warn that restoring power in the region will take days, if not longer. Aftershocks and Fear Grip the Nation In the capital, Nay Pyi Taw, residents have been experiencing relentless aftershocks since 15:00 local time today. “It shook at least six times during the night. Most people are running to monasteries and other places for safety,” said a local resident. Extensive damage has been reported across the city, with collapsed buildings and roads buckling under the strain of repeated tremors. The junta chief, Min Aung Hlaing, has visited overwhelmed hospitals where medical personnel are struggling to care for the injured. Death Toll Expected to Rise Further Speaking to the BBC, Francesca Capoluongo from the International Federation of the Red Cross in Myanmar said millions of people are at risk following yesterday's earthquake. "The initial estimates suggest that over 18 million people live within the earthquake-impacted area, so of course we can expect these figures to keep increasing. The search and rescue is still ongoing. It's very difficult now to validate any figure, and we know that it will continue to increase and that many of these eighteen million people are now without safe shelter, access to clean water, reliable health care." Voices from the Ground Residents of Mandalay, the hardest-hit region, are grappling with the magnitude of the disaster. “We lost everything,” one resident told the BBC. “All the pagodas and temples, including stairways, in my village have collapsed. I feel so sad to see this kind of sorrowful situation.” As Myanmar faces one of its deadliest natural disasters in recent history, rescue workers and emergency responders are racing against time to save those still trapped under rubble. The situation remains critical as the nation braces for further aftershocks and struggles to recover from the devastation. 29.06.2025 -

Why are Trump supporters so unwilling to criticize even some of his policies?
EU approval among its citizens hits record high as security fears grow, poll shows BRUSSELS, March 25 (Reuters) - Support for the European Union among citizens is at a record high, with three quarters saying membership of the bloc is beneficial because of its role in protecting peace and strengthening security, a Eurobarometer poll showed on Tuesday. The poll, conducted for the European Parliament in January and February, found that 74% EU citizens thought their country benefited from EU membership - the highest recorded since the question was first asked in 1983.After three years of war in Ukraine on Europe's eastern flank, the survey comes amid fears that Moscow may attack an EU member in the coming years and doubts about the future of U.S. protection for Europe via the NATO defence alliance. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/eu-approval-among-its-citizens-hits-record-high-security-fears-grow-poll-shows-2025-03-25/ I don't think those results actually comport with your view of the situation.- 1
