Myanmar In Trouble

Last week, Myanmar’s Sagaing region was hit by an earthquake of 7.7 magnitude on the Richter scale. As of Thursday noon, the death toll has exceeded 3,000, while more than 4,500 others have been injured in Myanmar. Situated between the Indian and Eurasian plates, Myanmar is a less-developed country. Its weak infrastructure, poverty and ongoing civil war have created a disastrous time for the public. The earthquake was so powerful that its shocks were experienced in even neighbouring Bangladesh, India, China, Thailand and Laos. Post the first quake, the country recorded another tremor of 6.7 magnitude. Experts say that the country has experienced probably the biggest earthquake in decades.
