A 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar, resulting in at least 144 deaths and 732 injuries, with expectations of further casualties. The quake's effects were felt across Southeast Asia, collapsing infrastructure like a skyscraper in Bangkok, killing seven and leaving dozens missing. Civil war conditions in Myanmar complicated rescue efforts, leaving nearly 20 million people vulnerable. Censorship by the military junta has hindered disaster response and information dissemination, obscuring the full impact and damage across the region, including neighboring countries up to Vietnam.
The recent 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar has not only resulted in significant loss of life and injuries but has also highlighted the challenges posed by the military junta's censorship.
Despite the military junta releasing figures of 144 dead and 732 injured, the true extent of the disaster remains obscured by the ongoing civil war and limited information flow.
