In brief
Rescue teams are racing against time in Myanmar's Mandalay, where a 12-year-old girl survived a building collapse, amid fears of more casualties as aftershocks terrorize residents.
In the wake of a devastating earthquake that struck Myanmar, over 1,600 people have lost their lives, and around 3,000 more are injured. The quake, described as the worst in over a century, hit near Mandalay, where rescue teams are working tirelessly, battling heat and challenging conditions. Amid ongoing military airstrikes elsewhere in the country, hopes of finding survivors are dwindling as time is running out.As they sift through the debris and increasingly worrisome conditions, volunteer rescuers like Myo Zaw remain determined to help, although the grim reality of an extensive recovery seems daunting.
