Myanmar Earthquake Death Toll Reaches 2,886

 

Asharq Al-Awsat

 

The death toll in the Myanmar earthquake has reached 2,886, with 4,639 injured and 373 missing, China's state-run Xinhua reported on Wednesday, citing Myanmar's state administration council information team.

 
Rescue workers saved a 63-year-old woman from the rubble of a building in Myanmar's capital on Tuesday, but hope was fading of finding many more survivors of the violent earthquake.
 
The fire department in Naypyitaw said the woman was successfully pulled from the rubble 91 hours after being buried when the building collapsed in the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that hit midday Friday. Experts say the likelihood of finding survivors drops dramatically after 72 hours.
 
Meantime, multiple countries have pledged millions in assistance to help Myanmar and humanitarian aid organizations with the monumental task ahead.
 
Even before the earthquake, more than 3 million people had been displaced from their homes by Myanmar's brutal civil war, and nearly 20 million were in need, according to the UN.
