Initial toll from earthquake in Thailand and Myanmar in the dozens as rescuers sift through rubble
About 20 people have died at a major hospital in Myanmar’s capital after a huge earthquake hit the country along with Thailand, causing widespread destruction, a doctor told AFP.
“About 20 people have died after arriving at our hospital so far. Many people were injured,” says the doctor at the 1,000-bed general hospital in Naypyidaw, who requested anonymity.
Across the border in Thailand, five people have been confirmed dead in the collapse of a skyscraper, with 81 more missing and believed trapped in the twisted metal and rubble of the under-construction building.
