The powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake in central Myanmar has wreaked havoc, particularly in Sagaing, where the death toll has officially surpassed 2,000 but could be much higher. Corpses accumulate rapidly with bodies being buried in mass graves due to insufficient resources for cremation. The military's control limits media access, complicating information flow about the disaster. With scarce rescue teams and local manpower dwindling, residents like Aye Moe claim self-reliance is their only recourse amidst the chaos and suffering.
Officially, the death toll from the quake has passed 2,000. Unofficially, many fear it could be thousands more. The US Geological Survey estimated that deaths could climb beyond 10,000.
Aftermath of the Myanmar earthquake has been grim; at a cemetery in Sagaing, the bodies are starting to pile up as rescue efforts remain stalled.
