Excerpt:Rescue crews in Myanmar used jackhammers and shovels to find any survivors amid the devastation from Friday’s powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake.
Many citizens resorted to digging through the debris by hand, trying to locate anyone still trapped.
At one site, an official said they had detected possible signs of life under the rubble.
Rescue efforts have been hampered by buckled roads, downed bridges, and strong aftershocks, including a 5.1 magnitude aftershock Sunday afternoon.
The UN is warning of a shortage of medical supplies, especially since the quake hit in the middle of Myanmar’s ongoing civil war. There are long lines of victims in need.
The staff of CBN Myanmar is mobilizing to help victims, and a global relief team is deploying with clean water filters and solar lamps.
