The UN warns a severe shortage of medical supplies is hampering the response to a deadly earthquake that hit Myanmar on Friday, as the search for survivors continues.
More than 1,600 people have been killed following the huge 7.7 magnitude earthquake that also impacted neighbouring countries, including Thailand.
In Bangkok, a 12th body was recovered late on Saturday evening from the site of a collapsed high-rise and in Mandalay, Myanmar, a woman was recovered alive after being trapped under rubble for 30 hours.
In war-torn Myanmar, the National Unity Government (NUG) – which is in exile – announced a “two-week pause in offensive military operations” in areas affected by the earthquake.
