The earthquake deepens the crisis in Myanmar when the help efforts are increasing

International efforts to obtain assistance in Myanmar have intensified on Sunday, days after the devastating earthquake that deepened the crisis in the country affected by the conflict.

Rescue and medical groups from China, Russia, India, Thailand and Singapore arrived in an isolated country of Southeast Asia. Other regional partners, including Vietnam and Malaysia, have pledged to send support.

Myanmar’s military government said 1644 people were killed and 3.408 were injured and 139 were still missing, state media reported, although these figures are expected to grow.

The earthquake also caused at least 17 cases of death in Bangkok, the capital of Thai more than 600 miles, while another 78 disappeared after the multi -storey building collapsed.

The avolooks continued through the weekend, on Sunday, the earthquake 5.1 magnet was in Mandala and Nahav, the capital.

Answer the earthquake should become a huge problem for Myanmarperverted by the conflict for decades and its repressive military rulers. The UN Development Report in January states that the country is 55 million AD. She experienced “polyclasis”, and his economy in the clutter and GDP is lower than before the Covid-19 pandemic.

The earthquake “couldn’t come for the worst for Myanmar,” said Amnesty International researcher Joe Freman. He noted that the disaster followed the transition of Trump administration to freezing foreign aid and scale down USAID, although the US president said Washington was assisting after an earthquake.

Amnesty has estimated that more than a third of the population will need humanitarian aid this year.

Myanmar’s military has overthrowed the Nobel Peace Prize of the San San Peace Prize in the 2021 coup. Since then, the conflict has deepened across the country as pro -democratic groups have been agreed with armed ethnic rebels against the junta.

Several strategic border regions are in the hands of the rebels, although the regime control is safer in the central regions, including Yangon, Commercial Center and Mandala, another city near the epicenter An earthquake on Friday.

India said her military had sent a team to create a field hospital near Mandala and aircraft with some means to help. His fleet also sends four humanitarian aid ships.

“Materials for the elimination of natural disasters, humanitarian aid, search and rescue groups are quickly sent to the affected areas,” wrote Prime Minister Narendra Modi after talking to General Mi Aun Hlang, head of the Junta military in Myanmar.

According to state media, Beijing sent two emergencies groups, and the Chinese Red Cross sent emergency supplies. Southwestern Yunnan province bordered on Myanmar, has sent some deliveries.

Singapore said he had sent an 80-member of the civil defense forces on Saturday, which arrived on Saturday on Saturday to assist in search and rescue efforts.

In the past, military governments have refused or restricted access to help, especially in areas stored by rebels.

In 2008, the military dictatorship refused to help, including the United States after more than 100,000 people were killed. During later disasters, such as Moss Cyclone in 2013 and Flood outbreaks, local assistance workers accused the government of refusing help and donations in the rebels.

“Junta’s reaction to the cyclone and typhoon yaga demonstrate their willingness to weapons in the midst of natural disasters,” said Tom Andrew, a special rapporteur on human rights in Myanmar. “A strong international response is needed to help many who were in the intersection of this terrible earthquake.”

The AH Nyar Research Center, which is engaged in the human rights group, focused on Central Myanmar, said on Sunday that international assistance has not yet reached the hands of the affected people “and the residents of Mandala” self -rescue work “.

The group added that some international assistance teams have received work permit in Mandalai and NIIPID on Monday. But it adds that Sagang, a rural northern region bordering on Mandala, who has seen the main burden of fighting, remains “blocked”.

International agencies said the earthquake destroyed the hospitals and damaged the main highway between Mandala and Yangon, the country’s commercial center. The air movement tower at Naipid’s airport collapsed.

“We may not have a clear picture of the degree of harm and loss for some time,” the amnesty said. It adds that Central Myanmar was also “destroyed by military strikes and a clash between resistance and military groups.”

Just a few hours after the earthquake, the military spent air strikes in the North Shan states, according to local media reports.

The government of national unity, a shadow government, consisting of former members of the AUN San Sun party, said on Saturday that it would introduce a “two-week pause” in the offensive in the earthquakes affected.

It adds that he will cooperate with the UN agencies and international assistance groups, “to provide emergency assistance and medical support”, including the controlled paddrats, “if security guarantees are provided.”
