March 31, 2025 - Foreign rescue teams and supplies are arriving in Myanmar to help the impoverished country cope with a magnitude 7.7 earthquake that killed more than 2,000 people and left thousands wounded.
International rescue teams have been joining the disaster effort, with several countries sending assistance to Myanmar.
These include China, India, Malaysia, The Philippines, Vietnam, Indonesia, Ireland, South Korea, Russia, New Zealand, the UK, Ireland and the European Union.
