The humanitarian needs of hundreds of thousands of survivors remain desperately pressing a month after Myanmar\u2019s deadly earthquake, compounded by airstrikes that the military government is reportedly carrying out despite ceasefires meant to aid relief efforts during the country\u2019s civil war.<\/p>\n
The 7.7 magnitude March 28 quake hit a wide swath of the country, causing significant damage to six regions and states, including the capital, Naypyitaw. Myanmar\u2019s Department of Meteorology and Hydrology reported Monday there had been 157 aftershocks after the big quake, ranging in magnitude from 2.8 to 7.5.<\/p>\n
State-run MRTV television reported on Sunday the quake\u2019s death toll had reached 3,769, with 5,106 people injured and 107 still missing. The earthquake left many areas without power, telephone or cell connections and damaged roads and bridges, in addition to tens of thousands of buildings.<\/p>\n
In some quake-hit areas, bereaved relatives and friends of the disaster\u2019s victims on Monday offered donations to monks, a Buddhist tradition to transfer merit and blessings to the deceased.<\/p>\n
A report released Monday by the Myanmar Witness project of the London-based Centre for Information Resilience said the group had documented 80 post-quake airstrikes by the military across multiple regions, including 65 after the army declared its unilateral ceasefire on April 2, following similar declarations by its battlefield foes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
