Mandalay, Myanmar – A powerful earthquake that struck Myanmar on March 28th has resulted in a staggering loss of life, with the death toll now confirmed at 3,689.

The epicenter of the quake was located near Mandalay, a major city and cultural hub in central Myanmar. The tremor, felt throughout the nation and in neighboring countries, caused widespread damage to infrastructure and homes, leaving thousands displaced and in urgent need of assistance.
