The death toll following a massive earthquake in Myanmar has risen to 2,886, with 4,639 injured and 373 missing, according to state-run television. Amidst the humanitarian crisis, calls for more international aid to Myanmar have grown, as China has already delivered cash aid via its embassy. The UN has urged the military junta to cease hostilities with rebels, but there are reports of ongoing military strikes despite a partial truce. In Thailand, where the earthquake damage was limited to a single construction site in Bangkok, the death toll has reached 22. In light of the earthquake, Chinese construction companies in Thailand are being urged to adhere to local safety guidelines.
