Three weeks after a devastating earthquake hit Myanmar, basic services have still not been restored in the worst affected areas. The earthquake had a magnitude of 7.7 and caused significant damage to six regions and states, exacerbating an already dire humanitarian crisis in the country. The death toll has reached 3,726 with many injured and missing. Thousands of buildings, schools, monasteries, hospitals, and bridges were damaged in the quake. International rescuers have collaborated with local workers to save people and recover bodies from the rubble. Three weeks on, the focus is on clearing debris and providing assistance to survivors. The United Nations estimates that 2.5 million tons of debris need to be removed, and teams are assessing the widespread building damage. In Naypyitaw, rescuers have ceased relief efforts, and damaged government buildings remain unrepaired. The military government plans to redesign the urban layout of the city. Despite the challenges faced by workers, including aftershocks and limited resources, efforts are ongoing to assist those affected by the earthquake.
