Myanmar Earthquake Death Toll Rises to 2,719 as Military Resumes Operations

Rescue efforts continue with over 650 survivors found, but ongoing conflict hampers relief in the wake of the 7.7 magnitude disaster.

A 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar on March 28, 2025, with the death toll now at 2,719 and thousands more feared dead.
Over 650 survivors have been rescued, including a woman after 91 hours and a man after five days under the rubble.
Despite calls for a ceasefire, the Myanmar military has resumed operations against rebel groups, complicating humanitarian efforts.
International aid has mobilized, with over 1,000 rescuers deployed, but damaged infrastructure and restricted access hinder relief work.
The World Health Organization has classified the earthquake as a Level 3 emergency, its highest crisis level, urging global support.
