The Myanmar military government said more than 3,000 people were killed last week’s 7.7 earthquake. Hundreds of people have disappeared and losses are expected to rise.
Rescuers still cannot reach parts of the country that was destroyed by the earthquake.
As Nick Beake of the BBC explained, BBC has been reporting internally in Myanmar In the week since the disaster, widespread destruction has been revealed.
Some survivors have been withdrawn from the rubble, but many others are not that lucky.
