Myanmar Earthquake: A powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar on March 28, killing 3,564 people, injuring 5,012, and leaving 210 missing, according to the State Administration Council. The quake caused widespread destruction across six regions, including the capital Naypyidaw. Heavy rains have worsened conditions, soaking tent camps and complicating relief efforts, while raising the risk of disease outbreaks like cholera. Over 5,000 buildings, 1,800 schools, and hundreds of bridges, dams, and hospitals were damaged. Aid has arrived from neighboring countries, and the U.S. has pledged $9 million. Thailand reported 24 related deaths and 77 missing.
