Yangon: As of Thursday morning, Myanmar has experienced 66 aftershocks ranging from magnitudes 2.8 to 7.5, according to the country’s Department of Meteorology and Hydrology.

These aftershocks followed a devastating 7.7-magnitude temblor that struck the country last Friday, Xinhua news agency reported.

Meanwhile, the State Administration Council (SAC) Chairman, Min Aung Hlaing, said that Myanmar’s government would allocate 500 billion kyats (about $238.09 million) for earthquake relief and rehabilitation efforts.

The Myanmar leader made the statement at a cash donation ceremony in Nay Pyi Taw Tuesday, where well-wishers donated 104.44 billion kyats ($49.71 million) in cash and non-cash items worth 12.4 billion kyats ($5.9 million), state-owned daily The Global New Light of Myanmar reported.

The contributions were received by the Chairman of the National Disaster Management Committee, the SAC Vice Chairman, council members, and other relevant officials, it added.

Following the deadly earthquake that struck Myanmar Friday, Min Aung Hlaing called for international assistance. In response, rescue teams, medics and nurses from 16 countries and regions have arrived in Myanmar with humanitarian aid and medical supplies as of March 31, it said.

Among the 18 powerful earthquakes that have struck Myanmar, the 7.7-magnitude quake was the second strongest, following an 8.0-magnitude temblor that hit the country in 1912, according to the local daily Myanma Alinn.

The death toll from Friday’s 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar has risen to 3,085, with 4,715 injured and 341 still missing, according to the State Administration Council information team Wednesday.

Myo Nyunt, President of the Myanmar Red Cross Society, told Xinhua earlier that key challenges in the current rescue operations included disaster assessment and logistics coordination.

Due to safety concerns in the affected areas, rescue teams have faced significant difficulties in distributing supplies, with a particular shortage of heavy machinery, Myo Nyunt said.

The powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake, followed by a 6.4-magnitude aftershock minutes later, struck Myanmar’s Mandalay region Friday, causing massive casualties and damage.

Myanmar announced Monday a week-long mourning period following the earthquake that struck the nation and wrought widespread destruction.

The United Nations and international aid organisations are struggling to respond to the devastating earthquake, which destroyed several cities, such as Mandalay, Sagaing, and Naypyidaw, and displaced tens of thousands of people. The hospitals are trying to cope with the high influx of patients.

However, the United Nations, the US, India, the European Union, several other nations and international organisations have sent aid and rescue teams for earthquake victims in Myanmar.

The Indian Army and Navy mobilised their resources, providing both immediate rescue support and long-term aid to the affected communities.
