Myanmar’s military leader requested international aid on Friday to help with the aftermath of a deadly earthquake that has killed at least 3000 people, with 4,515 injured and 351 missing.
According to the US Geological Survey, a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck near Sagaing, Myanmar, on Friday. The quake was reported to be located 16 kilometers (9.9 miles) northwest of the city. Additionally, the USGS noted that a second earthquake, measuring 6.4 in magnitude, occurred in the same area.
The death toll and injuries are expected to rise, said junta chief Min Aung Hlaing in a MRTV video speech. “In some areas, buildings collapsed, so rescue efforts are ongoing. As we carry out extensive rescue and relief efforts, I would like to request help.”
The country has accepted offers from India and the AHA Center, a regional disaster management and humanitarian assistance agency. Authorities report that more than 1000 people have been injured.
Major General Zaw Min Tun, spokesperson for the State Administration Council, announced that hospitals in Naypyidaw, Mandalay, and Sagaing are overwhelmed with patients. The Global New Light of Myanmar reported that several bridges and buildings had collapsed nationwide.
Emergency has been declared in six provinces, including Naypyidaw and Mandalay. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced that Europe is ready to support Myanmar and Thailand.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi plans to visit Bangkok next week and has pledged assistance. However, the ongoing civil war in Myanmar, under military junta control since 2021, may complicate rescue and rebuilding efforts.
“The build quality of structures is unlikely to survive this level of shaking, and casualty numbers will likely rise as more information about the disaster emerges,” said Bill McGuire, emeritus professor at University College London. He noted that the earthquake struck along the Sagaing Fault near major population centers.
In Bangkok, Thailand, a 30-story building under construction collapsed, trapping about 83 people and injuring 12. Governor Chadchart Sittipunt confirmed three fatalities.
Thailand is a key production hub for electronics, including computing components and laptops. Major manufacturers like Hon Hai Precision Industry Co. and Quanta Computer Inc. have reported no adverse impacts from the region.
Samsung Electronics Co., which makes many smartphones in Vietnam, stated that there has been no impact from the recent earthquake. Nguyen Xuan Anh, Director of the Earthquake and Tsunami Warning Center, mentioned that strong earthquakes often have aftershocks. Although many in Vietnam felt the tremors, the government believes there will be no damage.
Matthew 24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Matthew 24:38 For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noe entered into the ark,
Matthew 24:39 And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
Luke 21:11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and diseases; and fearful sights and great signs shall there be from heaven.
Luke 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Luke 21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
