SOTD! BREAKING NEWS Just hours ago, a tremendous fire broke out!

Emergency crews have been working nonstop despite overwhelming obstacles. Heavy machinery has been deployed where roads are still passable, while volunteers are digging by hand through twisted metal and concrete. Many rescue teams are racing against time, fearing that aftershocks could bring down what remains of weakened buildings.

Hospitals are overflowing. Makeshift triage centers have been set up in schools and temples. Blood donation drives began within hours of the quake, with citizens lining up despite chaos and confusion. “People are scared but determined,” said a Red Cross worker in Mandalay. “We’ve seen strangers helping strangers, people sharing what little food or water they have.”
