Myanmar earthquake death toll

CNN -  The death toll from the powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake that hit Myanmar last week has climbed to over 3,000 people. Thousands more have been injured or are missing. Around 500 buildings have completely collapsed and 800 more were partially destroyed. Hospitals are overwhelmed with patients and medical staff are providing critical care inside makeshift tents. As recovery teams continue to search the rubble for survivors — and to remove those who have perished — people living in the city of Mandalay are struggling to live without electricity or clean water. On Wednesday, the UN said that there’s concern such a situation will give rise to diseases. Due to the magnitude of the disaster, the country’s ruling military government announced a temporary ceasefire with armed opposition groups. The truce will reportedly last until April 22.
