Humanitarian businesses in Myanmar are hampered by damaged infrastructure and damaged roads, the UN Humanitarian Coordination Office (OCHA) announced today.

The 7.7 -magnitude earthquake overwhelmed the country yesterday destroyed critical infrastructure, including central roads and bridges making humanitarian businesses difficult to access in the affected areas, the statement added.

At the same time, the report increases with the dead reaching 1,644 dead and the injured 3,408, the junta in power said today.

At least 139 people are still considered missing, according to the same source.

In addition, ten people were killed, 42 injured and 78 are considered missing in the capital of Thailand, Bangkok.

Fears for 10,000 dead

The junta also said that 1,591 houses were damaged in the Mandalai area, which was also the focus of the earthquake.

However, analysts from the US Institute of Geological Studies (USGS) estimate that the death toll may exceed 10,000 and that the cost of repairing losses will exceed the country’s GDP.

General Mini Aung Hlating, the leader of the military junta who ruled in Myanmar, warned that there were other victims and asked all countries to offer help.

US President Donald Trump told reporters that he had spoken to “officials” in Myanmar and that his government would provide some kind of help to the country.

The US, which has a tense relationship with the Myanmar army and have imposed sanctions on its officials, including Junta’s head Minis Aung Hlating, said they would provide help.

International Aid from China, Russia, India, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea

At the same time, a team of rescuers from China reached the commercial capital of Myanmar Yangon, hundreds of kilometers from the affected cities of Mandalai and Naipita. Russia, India, Malaysia and Singapore are also sending planes full of supplies and staff to Myanmar, ravaged by a civil war after the 2021 military coup that expelled the elected political government.
