Myanmar’s military government chief Wang Ann Ain A regional summit will be headed to Thailand as his country rolled up thousands of people from the earthquake and left the city in ruins.

The government team said an earthquake in central Myanmar killed 3,085 people and injured 4,715 people last Friday. Hundreds are missing, and death toll is expected to rise.

A spokesman for the Myanmar Army said Min Aung Hlaing is scheduled to fly to Bangkok on Thursday at the summit, which will gather leaders on the Bay of Bengal bordering seven countries.

Since an approved leader is often prohibited from attending these events, his attendance will be unusual.

Host Thailand, where the earthquake was felt and killed 21 people, he proposed that leaders issue a joint statement on the disaster. Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka are also part of the summit.

Aid and rescue teams have been sent to Myanmar since the earthquake, but poverty-stricken infrastructure and ongoing civil war have complicated relief efforts.

Military Government A temporary ceasefire was announced Those efforts were accelerated late Wednesday after an earlier rejection of proposals to armed national rebel groups.

Prior to this, the military continued to carry out air strikes in rebel-controlled areas, including those hit by earthquakes.

On Tuesday night, troops opened fire at the Chinese Red Cross convoy carrying relief supplies. The military said despite the signals, the military opened fire after the convoy refused to stop.

Myanmar has been plagued by a bloody civil war since the military seized Ball in 2021, leading to the rise of an armed resistance movement that has been fighting alongside armed nations, some of whom have been fighting the army for decades.

Years of violence paralyze the economy, boost inflation, and put the country in a humanitarian crisis.

Now, the earthquake has exacerbated the crisis. The humanitarian community urges the junta to remove the remaining barriers to help.

The United Nations also urges global communities to increase aid before the monsoon season hits about a month ago.
