First deaths confirmed as ‘mass casualty’ quake hits Myanmar, Thailand

Given that Myanmar’s health system and infrastructure have been ravaged by the civil war for four years, the junta’s unique plea raises the possibility of extensive damage and casualties.

AFP reporters witnessed rescuers attempting to rescue a mother and son from a crumbling building in the money as the day fell.

A Red Cross employee told AFP that both of them had serious injuries, but rescuers could not save them.

SKYSCRAPER COLLAPSE

At least three workers were killed, according to Deputy Prime Minister Phumtham Wechayachai, in Thailand, along with 81 others who were trapped after the collapse of a tower close to the sprawling Chatuchak business, which was under construction.

An AFP artist at the image captured a healthy way to search for victims amid the knot of dust and twisted metal.

” I heard people asking for assistance and saying,” Help me,” said Worapat Sukthai, Bang Sue city deputy police chief, AFP.

He said,” We believe there are hundreds of injuries.”
