The Ruling Army of Myanmar declared a high temporary fire in the Civil War of the country on Wednesday to facilitate help efforts after an earthquake of 7.7 that has killed more than 3,000 people.
The announcement of the Army High Command was reported on Wednesday night on MRTV state television, which said the truce would extend until April 22 and aimed to show compassion for people affected by Friday’s earthquake.
At the end of Wednesday, the local time, the number of the dead of the tremor had risen above 3,000, CCTV reported from the Chinese state television station, according to Reuters.
The announcement of a temporary truce by the Board followed the unilateral temporal cessaleos announced by the armed resistance groups opposed to the military government. These groups must refrain from attacking the State, or regrouping, or otherwise the military will take “necessary” measures, according to the Army Declaration.
Earlier on Wednesday, rescuers brought two men out of the ruins of a hotel in the capital of Myanmar and a third of a guest house in another city, five days after the earthquake. But most of the teams were finding only bodies.
The earthquake arrived at noon on Friday, knocking thousands of buildings, collapsing bridges and buckling roads. The death toll increased to 3,003 on Wednesday, with more than 4,500 people injured, MRTV reported. Local reports suggest much higher figures.
The earthquake came in the middle of the civil war in Myanmar, worsening a terrible humanitarian crisis. According to the United Nations, more than 3 million people had been displaced from their homes and almost 20 million were needed even before hitting.
Two of the main armed resistance forces that fight against the military, who seized power in 2021 of the democratically chosen government of Aung San Suu Kyi, had announced the cessation of cessation to facilitate the humanitarian response to the earthquake, although the military initially did not yield in their attacks.
Dramatic rescue in Myanmar Capital
In the capital, Naypyitaw, a team of Turkish and local rescue workers, used an endoscopic camera to locate Naing Lin Tun on a lower floor of the damaged hotel where he worked. He was cautiously pushed through a hole in a floor and loaded him on a stretcher almost 108 hours after he was trapped for the first time.
Without a shirt and covered with dust, it seemed weak but aware in a video published by the local fire department, since it was equipped with an intravenous dripping and took. State MRTV later reported on the day another man was saved from the same building, more than 121 hours after he hit the earthquake. Both were 26 years old.
Another man was rescued by a team of Malaysia and local teams of a guest house collapsed in the municipality of Sagaing, near the Epicenter of the earthquake near the second largest city in Myanmar, Mandalay.
The earthquake also shook neighbor Thailand, causing the collapse of a large -height building in Bangkok. A body was removed from the rubble early Wednesday, raising the total death in Bangkok to 22 with 35 wounded, mainly on the construction site.
Resistance groups have announced cessation cessation
