According to earthquake: Coral smell spreads out in Myanmar

After the collapse of a high -rise building in Bangkok in the heavy earthquake on Friday, the time for the spilled expires. Hundreds are still missing in Myanmar.

Three days after the severe earthquake of Myanmar with an impact on the neighboring Thailand, the rescue and search work in both countries last. The situation is confusing, especially in the crisis country Myanmar, where a brutal military junta rules and the flow of information is difficult. In the morning there were initially no new figures on fatalities and missing people on state television.

Most recently, the military government had spoken of 1,700 deaths, around 3,400 injuries and 300 missing people. The quake on Friday, the epicenter of which was near the second largest city of Mandalay in the center of the former Burma, had a strength of 7.7.

The aid organization Save the Children reported that many families had been looking for refuge on football fields out of fear of wiring in monasteries and on football fields. Numerous damaged streets and the interrupted communication lines meanwhile make the auxiliary measures difficult. At the same time, the Junta, who had crushed to power in early 2021, prohibited international media access to the disaster area, the news agency Mary Now wrote, citing General General ZAW min.

Local media reported that in the particularly seriously affected region of Sagaing, residents were looking for missing people because the rescue workers did not get through. According to the Mizzima News news service, many people are still enclosed in collapsed monasteries. At the same time, there was a bad smell in the air in the area, it said.

In Bangkok, meanwhile, rescue workers are still looking feverishly after almost 80 missing people in a collapsed shell. The teams are used with excavators and detection dogs. Relatives desperately waited in front of the Schuttberg, which is still left of the 30-story high-rise building. The 72 hours, which the spilled can normally do without food and water, will soon be reached.

According to the city administration, another dead man was recently recovered from the rubble. The total number of death in the Thai capital is now at 18.

A heavy earthquake was also reported near the island state of Tonga in the South Pacific. The US earthquake station USGS stated the strength of the earthquakes from early Monday morning (local time) at 7.0. Accordingly, the center was 73 kilometers from the city of Pangai at a depth of 29 kilometers. There were initially no reports on damage or injuries. The broadcaster Radio New Zealand wrote that it was the most violent quake in Tonga for ten years. There were also several strong aftershocks. An original tsunami warning was lifted again.
