Myanmar Earthquake: The series of earthquakes in Myanmar is not stopping. On Sunday, a 5.1 magnitude earthquake struck near Mandalay, the country's second largest city. According to the US Geological Survey (USGS), this tremor is another part of the chain after the massive earthquake on Friday. The powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake on Friday wreaked havoc across the country, killing more than 1,600 people so far and more than 3,400 people are missing. The death toll is expected to increase amid this tragedy.

The earth shook for the fourth time in 72 hours

This is the fourth time in the last 72 hours that the land of Myanmar has shaken with earthquake tremors. The 5.1 magnitude earthquake near Mandalay on Sunday created an atmosphere of fear among the local residents. Due to the tremors, many people came out of their homes and ran towards safer places. Disaster relief and rescue operations are still underway, and the administration is engaged in evacuating people to safer places.

Huge damage caused by the earthquake

The devastating earthquake on Friday destroyed many buildings, while also causing severe damage to infrastructure. Relief work is being hampered due to damage to hospitals, roads and bridges. Rescue teams are constantly searching for people trapped under the rubble, but relief work remains a challenge due to lack of resources and difficult conditions.

Government and international assistance needed

The Myanmar government has appealed for international assistance, considering this disaster serious. Various countries and humanitarian organizations have assured to send assistance. Meanwhile, the local administration is busy setting up relief camps in the affected areas, so that the homeless people can get temporary shelter.

Further possibilities

According to geologists, more tremors can be felt in this area. Experts believe that aftershocks can occur due to energy imbalance caused by the last major earthquake, which can make the situation more serious.

This is a very difficult time for the people of Myanmar. Given the loss of life and property in this disaster, the government and international organizations need to focus on quick and effective relief operations.
