Mandala was ‘gold’s city’. it smells the body of the dead

Mandala, who was previously known as the Golden City, was a punctuation of Buddhist burial, but the air of the former royal capital of Myanmar now smells of dead bodies.

A resident of the country said many of the bodies of the dead had accumulated after a 7.7-erious earthquake near Mandala last Friday, who were forced to “drink in the stadiums”, a resident of the country said.

Myanmar’s military chief said the death toll from the quake had risen to 4,700, with 4,521 injured and hundreds of people missing. The numbers are expected to rise.

Residents of the second city in the country say they have spent insomnia at night and are walking in the streets with despair, with food and water shortages.

The Mandala, who said his body was taken “in the stadiums”, lost an aunt at the quake.

“But his body was taken out of the rubble only two days later, on March

Poor infrastructure and civil conflicts are strongly prevented from emergency efforts in Myanmar, which has a history of suppressing the scale of the national disaster. The number of dead is expected to continue to rise, as the rescuers have more access to cutting down buildings and districts.

Jay, who lives in the Mandala area of ​​Mandala, felt “surprisingly deprived of sleep.

Many inhabitants live in tents – or nothing – along the streets, fearing that they are not carrying them at home against the shocks.

“I have seen many people, I have stabbed myself and screaming loudly in the streets,” J said.

But survivors are still found in the city. The fire agency said it had rescued 403 people in Mandala in the past four days and received 259 bodies. It is thought that the actual number of victims is much higher than the official version.

In a televised speech Tuesday, military chief Min Ang Hlaning said the death toll could exceed 3,0

Little children, especially in this tragedy, have suffered.

A local password told the BBC that his eight-year-old son had exploded several times in recent days after witnessing a witness to part of his neighborhood under the rubble.

“He was in the bedroom of the upper floor when the earthquake hit him. My husband was aware of his younger sister, so some waste had fallen on him,” said Ruwet, who gave only his first name.

“Yesterday we saw his body being taken out of the collapsed building in our neighborhood,” said Ruwat, who lives in the Paigitagon region.

“It’s very cautious. Myanmar has been beaten because of many disasters, some are natural, some of them are made by people. Everyone is just so tired. We feel hopeless and powerless.

A monk who lives near the Sky Sky Villa Condominum, one of the worst harmful buildings that was reduced from 12 to 6 floors to the quake, told the BBC, while some people were recovered alive, “only the bodies were found in the past 24 hours.

“I hope this will end soon,” he said. I think there are more than 100 people.

The inventories near Mandala have been severely harassed, while the authorities have completed his body bags, including food and drinking water.

Around the city, the remnants of chopped pagos and golden magics are the streets. While Mandala was previously a major center for the production of gold leaves and a popular tourist destination, poverty in the city has risen in recent years, as in other parts of Myanmar (previously called Burma).

Last week’s earthquake also affected Thailand and China, but His effects have been especially destructive. In Myanmar, which has been destroyed by a bloody civil war, a widespread despair, since the soldiers took power in a coup in 2021.

On Tuesday, Myanmar held a minute of silence to commemorate the victims, part of a week of national mourning. The ruler called for the flags to fly in half a yogurt, the media broadcast that should be stopped and called on people to be respected.

Even before the earthquake, more than 3.5 million people were displaced.

Thousands of others, Many of them have fled abroad To avoid compulsory, this means that there are fewer people to help relief, and rebuild the country.

Russia and China, which have helped in supporting the Myanmar military regime, are among the countries that have sent expert support.

But salvation has slowed down, and C said.

“(Salvation teams) have been working without stopping for four days and I think they are a little tired. They need some rest.

“But because the damage is so wide, we have limited sources here, it is simply difficult for rescue workers to efficiently carry out such a widespread extinction,” he said.

While the ruler said all assistance was welcomed, some humanitarian workers reportedly reported their obstacles to access to earthquake areas.

Local media in Sagaing, the epicenter of the earthquake, reported The restrictions imposed by the military authorities That organizations should present a volunteer list and what they want to bring to the area.

Several rights groups, including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International, have called on governance to allow aid staff to access these areas immediately.

“Myanmar’s military rule is still scared, even after a terrible natural disaster that thousands of people have been killed and injured,” said Brion Laoe, deputy director of human rights monitoring.

“The demand should be broken in the terrible practice of its past and to ensure that humanitarian aid quickly reaches those whose lives are in danger of earthquakes,” he said.

The rule has also been criticized for continuing to shoot in villages even when the country is pouring out of the disaster.
