A devastating 7.9-magnitude earthquake recently struck central Myanmar, plunging multiple regions into a state of emergency. As rescue efforts continue beyond the critical 72-hour window, scenes of destruction remain overwhelming. Braving aftershocks and collapsed buildings, rescue teams still search for survivors in the rubble.

In the face of sweltering heat—temperatures soaring to 40°C—and rising concerns over potential disease outbreaks, a group of Chinese residents in Myanmar have voluntarily formed a grassroots disinfection team. Equipped with spray tanks, they sanitize ruins and temporary shelters to reduce the risk of epidemic spreading in the disaster zone.

As of April 1, official reports confirm 2,056 deaths and over 3,900 injuries, though the actual toll is feared to be higher due to communication blackouts and damaged infrastructure.
