A devastating 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, particularly affecting the city of Sagaing, leading to significant destruction. With over 2,056 confirmed dead and thousands injured, residents have faced isolation due to military control and damaged infrastructure. Many local volunteers have been blocked by the military from assisting in rescue operations. Though some international aid has begun to arrive, the community heavily urges foreign governments to prioritize Sagaing for assistance, as the area nears complete devastation with over 80% of structures ruined, including critical monasteries and apartment buildings.
Three days after Myanmar's worst earthquake in more than a century struck, the remote city of Sagaing is grappling with isolation, military obstruction, and dire need for aid.
With the toll from the 7.7-magnitude quake rising to over 2,056, residents of Sagaing face immense hardships as access to international assistance remains severely restricted.
