  • Five more survivors have been rescued nearly 60 hours after the quake, including four from a collapsed school and one from a hotel in Mandalay.
  • The earthquake caused widespread destruction, damaging buildings, roads, and bridges, which hampered rescue efforts, particularly in conflict zones.
