Bangkok woman describes terrifying moments during Myanmar earthquake

Bella Pawita Sunthornpong, a resident of Bangkok, was on the 33rd floor of her apartment building when a powerful earthquake struck neighboring Myanmar. Initially, she mistook the swaying for lightheadedness, but soon realized it was an earthquake when the lamp from the ceiling began swinging, per her interview with CNN.

Kenkiat told CNN he felt the building begin to shake and rock, making him dizzy.

"After that, debris like cement pieces started falling down, and the shaking got stronger, so I shouted for everyone to run."

He heard three loud "booms" before the room was suddenly filled with white dust.

"After the boom, I couldn't see anything. I was just running to find a way out," Kenkiat said. "I started looking for my coworkers. Things got chaotic, and people were starting to leave."

When he finally got outside, rescue teams were able to help him wipe off some of the dust as he struggled to breathe.

Amnesty International urges Myanmar's military to allow access to aid

Amnesty International has urged Myanmar's ruling military to allow access to humanitarian aid after the devastating earthquake.

"This earthquake could not come at a worse time for Myanmar. More than three million people remain internally displaced from armed conflict that has raged since the 2021 military coup," Joe Freeman, Amnesty International's Myanmar researcher, said in a statement.

Myanmar, which has been run by a military junta since a 2021 coup, has been "ravaged by military air strikes and clashes between resistance groups and the military," Freeman said.

"Myanmar's military has a longstanding practice of denying aid to areas where groups who resist it are active. It must immediately allow unimpeded access to all humanitarian organizations and remove administrative barriers delaying needs assessments."

Myanmar military junta struggles amid civil war and economic turmoil

Since seizing power four years ago, Myanmar's military junta has been increasingly weakened, leading some analysts to predict its potential collapse, similar to the rebel overthrow of Syria's government. While the junta has maintained control of about 20% of the territory, mostly urban areas, the ongoing civil war has left nearly 20 million people without adequate food, shelter, or security, as reported by the United Nations humanitarian aid agency.

Despite widespread anger over Myanmar's faltering economy and high levels of defections, the junta has retained power with support from countries like China, India, Russia, and Thailand. Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, the junta leader, has faced accusations of crimes against humanity and continues to persecute ethnic minorities, particularly the Rohingya Muslims, who are subjected to violence the U.S. has labeled genocide.

International responses have varied, with the U.S. taking a largely passive stance, while China and other countries continue to supply the junta with military aid and financial support. China sees the junta as the only force capable of maintaining Myanmar's unity, although it has been hesitant to fully endorse the coup. Recently, Min Aung Hlaing announced plans to hold "dignified" elections in December and has expressed willingness to cooperate with international aid following extensive damage from a powerful earthquake.

CARE's statement in response to the Myanmar earthquake

CARE Myanmar shared a statement with Newsweek about this morning's events regarding the earthquake.

Arif Noor, CARE Myanmar's Country Director, stated: "All CARE staff in Myanmar are safe, but the earthquake has caused damage in Mandalay and nearby areas. This powerful quake struck a country already in crisis, with 19.9 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. The response remains significantly underfunded, and this disaster has worsened an already fragile situation. CARE and our partners are urgently assessing the damage and preparing to support affected communities."

Promboon Panitchpakdi, CARE Thailand's Executive Director, commented: "In Bangkok, this is the first time we experienced such a strong impact from an earthquake, and it is deeply concerning, especially for densely populated urban areas. We felt the tremors clearly, and all office staff evacuated immediately. The government has declared a state of emergency, with inspections underway for structural risks in high-rise buildings. Some damage has also been reported to the expressway, and communication systems in Bangkok are disrupted. We are closely monitoring the situation and ready to provide support if needed."

Myanmar junta seeks international aid following deadly earthquake - Recap

A 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar on Friday, causing widespread damage, particularly in areas controlled by the military junta that took power in a 2021 coup. Naypyidaw, the junta's capital, and Mandalay, the country's second-largest city, were among the hardest-hit regions, with at least 20 deaths reported. Rescue teams are continuing their search for survivors, and the death toll is expected to rise.

Areas controlled by rebel forces appear to have been less affected, although reports from more remote locations may take longer to surface. Historically, during natural disasters like Cyclone Mocha in 2023, the junta has been criticized for restricting the flow of international aid to areas under opposition control. However, this time, junta leader Min Aung Hlaing has called for international assistance and declared a state of emergency in six affected regions, signaling a possible shift in response strategies.

Mandalay former royal palace walls collapse

The powerful earthquake struck central Myanmar, causing widespread damage to historic sites, homes, and critical infrastructure across multiple regions. The tremor, measured at a shallow depth of 10 kilometers (6.2 miles), was reported by both the U.S. Geological Survey and Germany's GFZ Center for Geosciences.

The quake's epicenter was located near Mandalay, the country's second-largest city, where significant structural damage was reported. Videos and images circulated on Facebook showed parts of the former royal palace visibly damaged, alongside numerous buildings throughout the city.

Though central Myanmar lies in a seismically active zone, the region around the epicenter is relatively sparsely populated, with many residents living in single-story or low-rise dwellings. Still, the impact was felt across several areas.

In the Sagaing region, just southwest of Mandalay, a 90-year-old bridge collapsed, and sections of the major highway linking Mandalay and the commercial capital, Yangon, sustained visible damage.

In Yangon, residents fled their homes in panic as tremors shook the city. Authorities have not yet reported any casualties or injuries, though assessments are ongoing.

Meanwhile, in the administrative capital Naypyidaw, the quake damaged religious shrines, toppling sacred structures and affecting nearby homes.
