Myanmar’s earthquake death toll jumps to over 1000

At least 1,000 people have died after a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck near Mandalay in Myanmar, also affecting neighboring Thailand. It was the largest quake to hit Myanmar in over a century. The US Geological Survey has estimated that the death toll could exceed 10,000. Aid flights from countries like Russia, India, and China began arriving on Saturday, and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) reported that their teams in Europe were preparing supplies and tents for delivery.
