Myanmar and Thailandia Live earthquake: Death Toll gets up to almost 700 while dozens trapped under the Bangkok skyscraper

The Indian Foreign Ministry said he had sent a first tranche of 15 tons of rescue material to Myanmar.

The help includes curtains, blankets, sleeping bags, food packages, hygiene kit, generators and essential medicines.

The Indian Air Force plane landed in Yangon on Saturday morning.

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi also expressed concern for the earthquake in Myanmar and Thailand.

“Praying for the safety and well -being of everyone. India is ready to offer all possible assistance. In this regard, she asked our authorities to be in standby. Also to Mea to stay in touch with the governments of Myanmar and Thailand,” he said, referring to the Ministry of external affairs.

Aung San Suu Kyi, a former Myanmar leader who was held by the country’s 2021 coup of 2021, is safe following the earthquake, according to reports from the Burmese services of the BBC, citing sources.

The 79 -year -old civil leader was imprisoned in the capital Naypyidaw by the military, although his current position remains unknown.

Cape Diamond, a journalist based in Myanmar who reports under a pseudonym, wrote on X that “Suu Kyi is safe and well”, citing a close assistant to the former civil leader.

It is unlikely that there is an official update on his situation, given the lack of information provided by the junta during the civil war.

The Chinese president Xi Jinping extended the condolences to the leader of Myanmar after the devastating Friday earthquake, according to what reported by Saturday Xinhua Chinese state Xinhua and CCTV.

Tremors were also warned through the border in the remote and mountainous province of Yunnan mountains in China. Some damages were also reported in China.

China previously said she was ready to help with humanitarian assistance and sent a tranche of aid together with rescuers.

The Chinese Foreign Ministry said that the country is ready to do its best to provide emergency humanitarian assistance and support to the area affected by the earthquake in Myanmar.

He said he wants to “help people there to take relief and save disastrously and cross this trial time”.

Small settings of settlement continued to shake Mandalay, the second largest city in Myanmar, which was the epicenter of the earthquake, during the night and Saturday morning.

The residents in many areas have spent the night on the streets, putting the beds in open areas.

One of the outbuilding shocks measured 6.4 size shortly after Friday’s main earthquake.

At least 694 were confirmed dead and 1,670 are injured after a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake caused devastation throughout Myanmar.

The budget of the victims should have climbed while hundreds were trapped in rubble, said General Min Aung Hlaing, said while he made a rare appeal for global assistance in a television speech.

Saturday’s update marked a significant increase after the junta recorded 144 deaths on Friday.

Bangkok’s city authorities have revised the number of people killed in the Friday earthquake up to six after initially reporting 10 deaths.

At least 22 people were injured and continuous research for 101 disappeared people.

The previous budget of the victims on Friday was 10.

The authorities said they had lowered the toll because the first rescuers had made a mistake some critical cases on the scene as dead, but when they reached the hospital, they could be revived.

At least two buildings were evacuated during the night in Bangkok while the volunteers inspected the buildings for damage.

Almost 2,000 others must be inspected on Saturday.

Myanmar has actually faced the tragedy after the tragedy in the last 80 years. The leader of his movement for independence, Aung San, was assassinated in 1947, just as he was ready to become the first prime minister of post-independence Burma, reports Annabel Venning.

Then, in 1962, just as the groups of ethnic minorities of Burma were about to obtain greater autonomy, the military organized a coup, renamed the country Myanmar and thus began decades of repressive military domain that continues today.

Aung San, Aung San Suu Kyi’s daughter was imprisoned by the military road and outside 1989. In 2020, he led the National League for Democracy (NLD) to the electoral victory, but the military prevented the NLD from taking power. In December 2022, they sentenced Aung San Suu Kyi to 30 years in prison, later reduced to 27, with accusations won of corruption and betrayal, which means that it will not be released until it is more than 100 years old.

It is believed that it is believed that 200,000 people died from illness and hunger in 2008 after the Myanmar military regime refused to allow help agencies to access the wake devastating floods caused by the cyclone Nargis.

Mark Farmanner, director of the Burma Uk campaign, says: “There is a feeling in Myanmar of:” Not this, after all the rest we suffered “.”

The allies China and Russia sent Myanmar rescue teams after being shaken by a powerful earthquake, killing 140 people.

A team of 37 members of the Chinese province of Yunnan reached the city of Yangon at the beginning of Saturday, according to the official press agency Xinhua.

The team has transported emergency rescue supplies such as life detectors, early alarm systems and earthquake drones, and it is expected that it will assist rescue efforts in the event of calamity and medical care.

The Ministry of Emergency of Russia sent two planes that transported 120 rescuers and supplies, according to an official tax news report.

“On the basis of the orders of the Russian president and the Minister of Emergency, a group of Russian rescuers started in Myanmar on two planes from Zhukovsky airport outside Moscow to help face the consequences of a powerful earthquake,” Tass reported who said a spokesman for the ministry.
