The death toll from the powerful earthquake in Southeast Asia last week has now topped more than 2,000 — but remarkably, signs of life are still being detected in Myanmar and Thailand.Myanmar was hit hardest.

A 7.7 magnitude earthquake rattled much of Southeast Asia on Friday, flattening skyscrapers and leaving more than 1,000 people dead from Myanmar to Thailand.

Jahari Jones, who is from Chicago’s South Side, moved to Bangkok late last year. He was editing a YouTube video when he felt the earthquake last week.

A tsunami warning has been cancelled in Tonga after a magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck the Pacific Island kingdom in the early hours of Sunday.

Thousands of people in Myanmar may need urgent shelter, food and medical help, according to the International Rescue Committee's Myanmar director, Mohamed Riyas. He says it could be weeks before the full extent of the earthquake damage is known,

Thailand's economic activity eased in February due to slowing activity in manufacturing and services, according to the central bank, which said it was monitoring any impact on the tourism sector of last week's earthquake.

Signs of life were detected in the ruins of a skyscraper in Bangkok on Monday as efforts intensified to find people trapped three days after a massive earthquake in Southeast Asia that killed at least 2,

Thai authorities see "something suspicious" in Bangkok building collapse as earthquake devastation in Myanmar comes slowly into focus.

The powerful earthquake, which had its epicenter in central Myanmar about 13 miles from Mandalay, Myanmar’s second-largest city, struck around 12:50 p.m. local time, the New York Times reported. It was followed by several tremors, including a 6.4 magnitude aftershock which occurred just 11 minutes later.

A 7.7 magnitude earthquake and an aftershock measuring 6.4 rocked Myanmar and neighboring Thailand on Friday, bringing down buildings and disrupting power supplies and transport services.

A massive earthquake that rocked Myanmar could exacerbate hunger and disease outbreaks in a country already wracked by food shortages, mass displacement and civil war, aid groups and the United Nations warned Monday.

Aid workers delivered the first shipments of help to Myanmar, but will have to cross a country buckled by the disaster and divided by civil war, arms dealers and drug syndicates.

Rescuers braved aftershocks to scour the devastated city of Mandalay for survivors on Monday, after a massive earthquake killed at least 1,700 people in Myanmar and at least 18 in neighbouring Thailand.

At least three hospitals in the country are out of service, according to the World Health Organisation, three days after a powerful earthquake hit the country.

Rescuers raced against fears that the death toll could rise sharply as the end of a 72-hour window in which most people trapped in rubble are reasonably expected to survive neared.

Rescuers are desperately searching for survivors more than three days after a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar, toppling buildings as far away as the Thai capital Bangkok and sending tremors through nearby Chinese provinces.
