Myanmar death toll rises after earthquake, says military government | BBC News


The death toll in Myanmar following Friday’s major earthquake has risen to 2,056, the ruling military junta has said.

They also say more than 3,900 people are injured, and a further 270 still missing.

Getting information out of Myanmar has proven to be difficult and the country’s military leadership has a history of suppressing the scale of national disasters.

Foreign aid and rescue teams have joined the effort, with a Chinese team reportedly pulling four people alive from the rubble in Mandalay on Monday.
