The death toll from the powerful earthquake that struck Myanmar has risen to 3,085, with 4,715 people reported injured and 341 still missing, according to official figures released Thursday.

The 7.7-magnitude quake, which hit last Friday, is among the strongest Myanmar has experienced in the past century. It caused widespread destruction across cities and rural areas, severely damaging infrastructure, homes, and public facilities.

A government spokesperson confirmed that rescue efforts are ongoing across affected regions despite challenging field conditions and logistical obstacles. Emergency teams are working tirelessly to recover survivors trapped beneath rubble and provide critical aid to those displaced.

As the humanitarian crisis deepens, regional and international relief organizations have begun mobilizing assistance to support the country’s response and recovery efforts.
