A powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Mandalay in Myanmar on Friday, with tremors felt as far as Thailand’s capital, Bangkok, and the northern city of Chiang Mai. Videos have emerged showing widespread damage across both countries.
One clip shows an under-construction building collapsing in Bangkok’s Chatuchak Market, while another captures the iconic Ava Bridge, that connects Myanmar’s Ava and Sagaing regions, falling. No tsunami alert has been issued so far. A strong aftershock of 6.4 magnitude struck Myanmar’s Sagaing region just 12 minutes after the initial quake.

A cidade de #Ruili, Yunnan, na China, que faz fronteira com #Mianmar, também sentiu o tremor. Um vídeo mostra que um arranha-céus no centro de Ruili teve tijolos e pedras caindo continuamente, enquanto a água de uma piscina no topo do edifício caía como uma cachoeira. #Terremoto https://t.co/ye43xCLAsx pic.twitter.com/PGpBD3AunE

Οι ελλιπείς υποδομές, οι ανεπαρκείς υπηρεσίες υγείας -κυρίως στις επαρχιακές περιοχές-και η άναρχη δόμηση των αστικών κέντρων έχουν καταστήσει τους κατοίκους της Μιανμάρ ιδιαίτερα ευάλωτους σε περίπτωση φυσικών καταστροφών, σύμφωνα με τους ειδικούς.
