The tremors were also felt in Thailand, China, Bangladesh, Malaysia and Vietnam. The earthquake in Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, was classified as a major disaster. In particular, a skyscraper under construction in the city collapsed. There were no reports of injured Russian tourists. In Myanmar, an earthquake has caused destruction across almost the entire country. Many residential buildings, administrative buildings, schools and hospitals have collapsed. People are still being searched for under the rubble. Underground oil pipelines and power lines have also been damaged. Authorities have reported that more than 1,000 people have died and over 2,300 people have been injured as a result of the earthquake. Local doctors reported on March 28 that the wounded continue to arrive, while medical facilities do not have enough doctors and nurses to provide care to all the victims. On the evening of March 28, on the instructions of President Vladimir Putin, two planes with Russian rescuers flew to Myanmar to help eliminate the consequences of the earthquake. Putin expressed condolences to Myanmar Prime Minister Min Aung Hlaing. Myanmar earthquake death toll jumps to over 1,600 as more bodies recovered from rubble [IsraelTimes] Toll likely to be far higher in civil war-ravaged country; military junta issues rare appeal for international assistance; death toll at 10 in Bangkok. |
