Following a powerful 7.9 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar, rescuers from the Chinese mainland have staged a heroic response. According to Guo Jiakun of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, six lives have been saved so far.
Four individuals were rescued on Monday morning after being trapped for nearly 60 hours, while two others were pulled from the rubble on Sunday. This rapid and determined effort highlights the courage and teamwork of those on the ground.
The first batch of disaster relief materials arrived at Yangon International Airport at noon on Monday. The supplies include 1,200 tents, 8,000 blankets, and over 40,000 first aid kits. Furthermore, the Chinese mainland has pledged 100 million yuan (approximately $13.9 million) to bolster relief and recovery operations.
With a lightning-fast response, these real-life heroes are making a tangible difference in the lives of quake victims. Their work reminds us that support and solidarity shine brightest during challenging times. 🙏💪
