A 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar killed approximately 2,700 people, injured thousands more, and rippled into neighboring Thailand on Friday, March 28, leaving a devastating trail of destruction in its wake. Approximately 3,000 structures were damaged as a result of the earthquake, including more than 95 pagodas and stupas and 50 mosques. These preliminary tallies of cultural heritage destruction were shared on X on Saturday by the country’s civilian shadow government, the National Unity Government of Myanmar, which opposes the ruling military junta in the ongoing civil war. The fatal natural disaster compounds an already worsening humanitarian crisis in the country. https://lnkd.in/gWVmaDYt
