Rescuers dug through the rubble of collapsed buildings on Saturday in a desperate search for survivors after a huge earthquake hit Myanmar and Thailand, killing more than 150 people.

The shallow 7.7-magnitude quake struck northwest of the city of Sagaing in central Myanmar in the early afternoon, followed minutes later by a 6.7-magnitude aftershock.
