The high number of the Myanmar earth


Official media reported, on Sunday, that the death toll from the strong earthquake that Myanmar was subjected to on March 28 rose to 3471, in addition to 4671 injured and 214 missing.

This comes at a time when relief agencies said that the rains, which fell in the past hours on parts of Myanmar, may complicate relief efforts and increase the risk of diseases.


The relief agencies said that non -seasonal rain, in addition to the extreme heat, may lead to the outbreak of diseases, including cholera between the survivors of the earthquake who sweats in the open.

“Families sleep in front of the ruins of their homes, while the bodies of their relatives are recovered from under the rubble. A great fear of more earthquakes,” said Tom Fletcher, the chief relief to the United Nations, visiting the visiting of the X platform.

He added: “We need tents and give hope to the survivors while they rebuild their destructive lives,” noting that hard and coordinated work is the basis for saving the largest possible number of lives.

Neighborhood countries, such as China, India and Southeast Asian countries, were among the countries that sent relief supplies and rescue men during the past week to support recovery efforts in the areas affected by the earthquake, which is inhabited by about 28 million people.

The United States, until recently, the world’s largest humanitarian donor, has pledged to provide at least $ 9 million to Myanmar to support the earthquakes affected by the earthquake, but current and former US officials say that canceling its foreign aid program may affect its response.
