Man is rescued with a life of rubble 5 days after earthquake in Myanmar

Survivors in Mandalay say they dug with their own hands to try to save those in prison. They report the lack of heavy machinery and the absence of authorities. “There is no help simply because there is no labor, equipment or vehicles,” said a resident who declined to be identified.

Afraid of new collapse, hundreds of residents improvised camps to sleep on the streets. “We didn’t dare come home because we are afraid that a building in the neighborhood will crumble over us,” said Hlaing Hlaing HMWE, 57.

Burmese live with the heat of 40 ° C and the strong smell of decaying bodies, despite the work of ambulances to transport the victims. So far, about 300 bodies have been transported, forcing the employees of the Kyar Ni Ban crematorium to work six overtime.

The alliance of the three brotherhoods, a rebel group that operates in the country, announced a month ceasefire. THE Group comprises the Army of the Mianmar Democratic Alliance, the Ta’ang National Liberation Army and the Arakan Army.

Rebels stated that humanitarian efforts are ” urgent and necessary ” and that the civil war affected the work of relief to the victims. In a joint statement, they said they want help to the population affected by the earthquake to be performed as quickly and effectively as possible.
