PTC News Desk: Day after a massive earthquake jolted Mayanmar, rescuers have been working relentlessly through the rubble with their bare hands, frantically searching for survivors. At least 1000 people have been killed with a US agency warning that the toll could exceed 10,000.


Meanwhile, India has sent 15 tonnes of relief material, including solar lamps, food packets and kitchen sets, to Myanmar on an IAF C 130 J aircraft.

Strong tremors of the quake were also felt in Bangladesh, China and parts of India including Meghalaya and Manipur.

The relief package includes tents, sleeping bags, blankets, ready-to-eat meals, water purifiers, hygiene kits, solar lamps, generator sets, and essential medicines such as paracetamol, antibiotics, syringes, gloves, and bandages.


The powerful tremor was felt in Bangkok and several parts of Thailand, with eyewitness reports and local media accounts noting that hundreds of people rushed out of swaying buildings in Bangkok. Several posts on social media showed water splashing out of swimming pools due to the quake's intensity.
