The death toll from last week's powerful earthquake in Myanmar has risen above 2,000, as the UN and aid groups warn the disaster could exacerbate hunger and disease outbreaks in a country already wracked by food shortages, mass displacement and civil war.
Friday's 7.7-magnitude quake, whose epicentre was near Mandalay, the country's second largest city, killed at least 2,056 people, the ruling military junta said on Monday.
