Death toll of Myanmar earthquake rises to 2,719

The death toll from the devastating earthquake in Myanmar continues to rise.

According to a foreign news agency, the death toll from the earthquake in Myanmar and Thailand has reached 2,719.

4,521 people were injured and more than 400 are still missing after the earthquake in the Myanmar city of Yangon.

The search for people buried under the rubble is still ongoing three days after the 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar.

The rescue operation is facing further difficulties due to problems such as power outages, fuel shortages, and poor communication.

Due to the lack of heavy machinery, people are forced to remove the rubble with their hands in 40 degrees Celsius to search for survivors.

Myanmar's army chief says that the death toll from the earthquake is likely to exceed 3,000.

It is pertinent to note that the effects of the 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar on Friday, March 28, were also felt in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, causing skyscrapers to collapse in a matter of moments.

According to foreign media reports, two earthquakes of magnitude 7.7 and 6.4 were felt in Myanmar on Friday.

According to the US Geological Survey, the earthquake had a magnitude of 7.7, with its epicenter 10 kilometers underground in Myanmar.
