More than 1640 victims, residents try to dug survivors

After a severe earthquake with Magnitude 7.7 that hit Burma the most on Fridayresidents are desperately looking for survivors in demolished buildings, while occasionally still shaking the floor. The epicenter of the earthquake and the almost strong earthquake gust was in the city of the mandala, where there were also the most victims. According to the information provided by the Burma military hunt, 1644 people have lost their lives, more than 3400 are injured and at least 140 were missing. At least 17 people also died in Thailand.

Distressing between people looking for survivors, is, according to reporting BBC Even worse, as monsoon is approaching, and at the same time, the situation is made difficult by the Burmese military hunta, which continues to bomb the parts of the state shaken by the war. The United Nations described the attacks as completely outrageous and unacceptable. As a special UN Rapporteur said Tom Andrews after BBCit is amazing that the army continues to throw bombs after the earthquake instead of saving people. The United Nations warned yesterday that providing assistance to people are severely difficult to lack health supplies, damaged roads and communication links.

Due to unreliable communications, the dimension of the catastrophe in this isolated country is unknown; Based on modeling, the US Geological Service estimated that the death toll could exceed 10,000 and losses could exceed the annual economic production of the country.

Representatives of the Hunta applied for international assistance on Friday, which confirms the seriousness of the situation, but today they called on all military and civil hospitals and healthcare professionals to participate in a coordinated and effective manner. Previous military governments have avoided foreign assistance in the face of major natural disasters, reports Guardian.
