(250401) -- MANDALAY, April 1, 2025 (Xinhua) -- Members from the China Search and Rescue Team carry out rescue work at a quake site in Mandalay, Myanmar, March 30, 2025. Following the devastating earthquake in Myanmar, multiple Chinese rescue teams have arrived in the disaster-stricken areas, working with local responders around the clock to search for survivors.
The rescuers combed through the ruins of apartments, hotels and hospitals to find signs of life. Continuous aftershocks, power cuts, destroyed roads and communication interruptions made their rescue work even harder.
Meanwhile, more Chinese rescue teams are heading to Myanmar, bringing in earthquake experts, structural engineers, medical personnel and canine units, as well as life detectors, demolition equipment and field hospital systems. (Xinhua/Cai Yang)
