According to CCTV news reports, on April 5, local time, the reporter of the main station learned that the strong earthquake in Myanmar has killed 3,455 people, injured 4,840 people, and left 214 missing.

At 14:20 on March 28, a magnitude 7.9 earthquake occurred in Myanmar, and many earthquakes in Yunnan, our country, felt strongly. This earthquake is the 17th earthquake of magnitude 6 or above in the world since the beginning of this year, the largest earthquake this year, and the strongest earthquake on the mainland in the past decade.

After the earthquake, rescue teams from many countries, including China, India, Russia and other countries, were quickly deployed to the scene to carry out rescue work. The China International Rescue Team, together with the China Rescue Team, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government Rescue Team, and the Shenzhen Public Welfare Rescue Team, has set up a temporary relief station in the resettlement site of the affected people in Mandalay, Myanmar's second largest city, to provide medical services to the people in the disaster area, and so far, more than 400 patients have received treatment. At the same time, the China International Rescue Team has completed the sanitization area of more than 80,000 square meters, effectively reducing the risk of post-disaster epidemics.

The earthquake caused damage to many monuments across Myanmar, especially in the Mandalay area, and Myanmar's tourism industry, which was originally in a developing trend, was also hit, and Chinese live streaming was also greatly affected. Myanmar has the world's largest jade trading market, and a businessman engaged in the jade business in China and Myanmar said that the earthquake caused many people in the jade business in Mandalay to lose contact, poor communication signals, and problems with power supply. In addition, due to the impact of the earthquake, a number of domestic travel agencies have suggested suspending travel to Myanmar, and a number of online travel service platforms have launched an emergency response mode to provide tourists with refund and change plans.

At present, although the lifeline of supply has been basically opened, the rescue work still faces multiple challenges such as aftershocks, high temperatures, and complex road conditions. Infrastructure in many parts of Myanmar has been severely damaged, power and water services in a large number of disaster areas are intermittent, communications and networks are unstable, and the road surface from Yangon to Naypyidaw and Mandalay is deformed and cracked, causing huge obstacles to relief efforts. In the future, Myanmar will not only have to face rescue problems, but also need to deal with post-earthquake epidemic prevention and control and large-scale post-disaster reconstruction work.
