Rescue workers successfully extracted a man from the wreckage five days after the destructive earthquake in Myanmar, while there were increased calls for the military government to facilitate more aid and cease assaults on rebel groups.

The magnitude 7.7 earthquake, which occurred on Friday, caused widespread destruction, resulting in at least 2,886 fatalities and leaving thousands without shelter.

Various prominent armed factions fighting the military have temporarily halted hostilities to aid in the earthquake recovery efforts. However, the military government’s leader, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing, vowed to continue “defensive operations” against “terrorists.”

UN agencies, human rights organizations, and foreign governments have urged all parties involved in Myanmar’s civil conflict to cease hostilities and prioritize assistance for those affected by the earthquake, the most significant to strike the nation in decades.

While the chances of discovering more survivors are dwindling, there was a moment of jubilation on Wednesday when a man was extracted alive from the remains of a hotel in the capital, Naypyidaw.
