Damaged road on the highway Naypyidaw-Yangon after the earthquake in Naypyidaw, Myanmar.
A 5.1 magnitude earthquake on the Richter scale shook Mandalay in the center of Myanmar (former Birmania) this Sunday. It was a replica of the earthquake of magnitude 7.7, which caused more than 1,600 dead and 3,400 injured.
The United States Geological Service (USGS) stated that this Sunday’s tremor had its epicenter 28 kilometers northwest of Mandalay and a hypotrocemine at a depth of 10 kilometers. So far, there is no record of victims or material damage of this more Recent Earthquake of Magnitude 5.1 Na Richter Scale.
The Richter scale, which took place on Friday, triggered a series of replicas since then, the strongest of which-of magnitude 6.7 on the Richter scale-occurred minutes after the first earthquake.
Hundreds of rescuers from various countries are looking for survivors in the regions most affected by Friday’s earthquake in Myanmar, the second most populous city, with 1.5 million inhabitants, where significant damage was recorded.
The official television channel MRTV, which belongs to the Burmese Military Junta -in power since the coup d’état in February 2021 -reported that firefighters, technicians and rescuers from Russia, China, India, Singapore, Thailand and Hong Kong are already working on rescue and rescue in the country.
International rescue teams are joining efforts to rescue victims and clean rubble this Sunday, as these efforts enter a critical phase 48 hours after the earthquake.
The United Nations and Humanitarian Groups, which warned of the serious shortage of medical supplies, began to mobilize mobile surgical teams and campaign hospitals to provide medical care to the victims.
The United Nations Emergency Assistance Fund (CERF) has attributed $ five million in Ajuda, followed by the UN Project Services Office (Unops), which added $ 10 million to relieve the impact of the earthquake.
Ireland also announced a donation of six million euros and Australia has contributed another two million dollars, making it clear that this money will be managed by United Nations agencies and humanitarian organizations, such as the International Red Cross Committee (CIAB).
