On March 28, a powerful 7.9-magnitude earthquake rocked Myanmar, leaving behind tragic losses with at least 144 lives lost and 732 residents injured, according to government officials. In a related incident, a high-rise under construction in Bangkok collapsed, claiming at least 10 lives.
In a remarkable display of solidarity, a 37-member Chinese medical rescue team from the Chinese mainland's Yunnan province has quickly departed from Kunming Changshui International Airport to support search and recovery efforts in Myanmar. Equipped with full-functioning life detectors, earthquake early warning systems, portable satellites, and drones, the team is geared up for a mission that feels straight out of a blockbuster action movie! ⚡🚁
This swift response not only brings hope to those affected but also highlights the power of international cooperation during times of crisis. Stay tuned as updates continue to arrive, and let's stand together with compassion and resilience. 💪❤️
