The 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar on March 28 has increased to 3,645 deaths, while 5,017 people have been injured and 148 people are still missing. This information was given by the State Administration Council information late Tuesday evening.
According to the country’s Meteorological and Climate Department, since the earthquake, 98 afterchox (tremors of earthquake) have been recorded so far, whose intensity ranged from 2.8 to 7.5. More than 80 percent of buildings have been damaged in major areas like Sagiing, Mandalay and Magway due to this terrible disaster.
UNDP regional representative Titon Mitra told Mandle that the health system of the country has been completely broken, treatment is not possible due to the large number of patients in hospitals, he also said that there is a huge shortage of medicines and health materials.
According to the United Nations’ Coordination Office (OchiHA) report, more than 5 lakh people have been deprived of basic health services across the country. Titon Mitra said that markets have been completely disrupted in areas like Sagiing and Magway, people have no means of income left and now inflation is indicating rapid growth.
He said, “Amidst the active civil war in the country, it is important that relief materials also reach areas which are under resistance control and not only to the areas of military administration.”
In the time of this crisis, India has started ‘Operation Brahma’ under the ‘neighbor I’ and ‘Act East’ policy and has joined the first countries to provide humanitarian aid to Myanmar. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed deep condolences on this horrific disaster and assured India’s full assistance by directly interaction with the Prime Minister of Myanmar and Senior General Min Aung Halrang, the Chairman of the State Administration Council.
On April 4, during the BIMSTEC Summit in Bangkok, Prime Minister Modi and Min Aung Halang met, which discussed the situation after the earthquake and the relief campaign ‘Operation Brahma’ released by India.
