A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar on Friday (28 March), with tremors reaching as far as Thailand’s capital Bangkok, causing high-rise buildings to collapse and filling streets with rubble, leaving the loss of thousands of lives in its wake.
The death toll after the catastrophic earthquake has risen to over 2,700, with thousands more injured and many others still missing. Collapsed buildings now line the streets with debris in the city of Mandalay, with buildings destroyed and palaces damaged in Myanmar.
