Myanmar Earthquake Death Toll Rises To 3,085 As More Bodies Found by Slytiger(op): 2:08pm On Apr 03, 2025

BANGKOK (AP) — The death toll from the massive earthquake that hit Myanmar nearly a week ago rose Thursday to 3,085 as search and rescue teams found more bodies, the military-led government said, and humanitarian aid groups scrambled to provide survivors medical care and shelter.

In a short statement, the military said another 4,715 people have been injured and 341 are missing.

The epicenter of Friday’s 7.7 magnitude earthquake was near Mandalay, Myanmar’s second-largest city. It brought down thousands of buildings, buckled roads and destroyed bridges in multiple regions.

Local media reports of casualties have been much higher than the official figures and with telecommunications widely out and many places difficult to reach, it’s thought the numbers could rise sharply as more details come in.

The World Health Organization said that according to its initial assessment, four hospitals and one health center had been completely destroyed while another 32 hospitals and 18 health centers had been partially damaged.

“With infrastructure compromised and patient numbers surging, access to health care has become nearly impossible in many of the worst-hit areas,” the U.N. said. “Thousands of people are in urgent need of trauma care, surgical interventions and treatment for disease outbreaks.”

A mobile hospital from India and a joint Russian-Belarusian hospital also were now operating in Mandalay.

Ahhh

Counting from 1 to 100 is really a big deal, how much more counting from 1 to 3085 and all of that representing people that died just from this single disaster.

May God have mercy on that country that nothing of such nature happens again 🙏

Earthquake is one of the major signs Jesus says will precede the great tribulation in Matt 24

And all these are people with great visions and dreams...

Some were planning on what they were gonna do the next minute, hour, day, week, month or year....

Oh man, what art thou?
Are you better than the birds of the air?
Where is thy might that thou boats about?

Just like any other living thing, so is man.....

May the families of the bereaved find comfort!

South Asia as a region is cursed with endless natural disasters that almost always culminate in steep death tolls. Anytime you hear of an earthquake or a tsunami from that part of the world, you can be sure that end result would be catastrophic. RIP to the departed.

it was and still an experiment. Those that started the experiment will end it when they are ready.

An extremely advanced civilization somewhere is what is doing the experiment.

And i wont be surprised if Jesus Christ is one of those advanced creations

We are so fortunate in Africa, no tsunami, no earthquake, no tornado, no hurricane but bad government won finish us. This is itself worse than those natural disasters.

Continue asking stupid questions. Many have asked this question and have gone, awaiting final answer at the final judgement.
