Myanmar Earthquake: Death Toll Rises to 1,644 Amid Regional Impact

A devastating earthquake struck Myanmar, centered near Mandalay, resulting in a death toll that has now risen to 1,644. The disaster has not only affected Myanmar but also caused significant tremors in neighboring Thailand, with reports of a building collapse in Bangkok. The earthquake, which occurred on March 29, 2025, has led to widespread destruction and has prompted a partial ceasefire announcement from Myanmar's resistance movement to aid in rescue and relief efforts.

The impact of the earthquake was felt across the region, with Bangkok experiencing the collapse of a major building, adding to the chaos and destruction. Rescue operations are ongoing, with international aid being mobilized to assist the affected areas. The situation remains critical as aftershocks continue to pose a threat to the stability of the region.

The Myanmar government, along with international organizations, is working to provide immediate relief to the survivors, while also assessing the long-term needs for rebuilding the affected areas. The partial ceasefire by the resistance movement is seen as a crucial step in allowing humanitarian aid to reach those in need without hindrance.
