Myanmar earthquake death toll reaches 2,886

The death toll from the Myanmar earthquakes neared 2,900, while 72 people remain missing in Thailand, Xinhua News reported.

According to Myanmar’s State Administration Council information team, the death toll in Myanmar has reached 2,886, with 4,639 people injured and 373 still missing.

In neighboring Thailand, 72 people are still missing in the capital Bangkok, as the search for bodies continues at the site of the collapsed State Audit Office tower block, Thai PBS reported on Wednesday.

Two devastating earthquakes, with magnitudes 7.7 and 6.4, rocked Myanmar and Thailand last Friday with the epicenter in the Sagaing region, which reportedly suffered the most damage.

Thai and international rescue teams took turns overnight, working with sniffer dogs and heavy equipment to lift large concrete blocks to reach the missing individuals.
