International aid picks up as scale of quake overwhelms Myanmar | DW News

The United Nations is warning that a severe lack of medical equipment is hindering the emergency response in Myanmar after Friday's devastating earthquake. International relief is gathering pace but aid agencies say the country is unprepared to deal with a disaster on this scale. At least 1,600 people have been killed and thousands more injured, with aftershocks still being felt in some areas.
The earthquake in Myanmar also struck neighboring Thailand, killing at least 17 people and injuring over 30 more, according to officials. At least ten were killed when an unfinished 30-story high-rise collapsed in the capital Bangkok. Rescue teams are still searching for signs of life underneath the unstable pile of rubble, but they don't know how many of those trapped might still be alive.
