Catastrophic earthquake leaves hundreds feared dead

A devastating earthquake with a magnitude of 7.7 has struck Myanmar and Thailand, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The death toll has already reached at least 150, with hundreds more injured. The situation in Myanmar is particularly dire, as the military government’s tight control over information has made it difficult to assess the full extent of the damage.

According to the U.S. Geological Survey, the number of casualties could be much higher, with estimates suggesting that thousands may have perished in this catastrophic event. NBC News correspondent Janis Mackey Frayer is on the ground, reporting on the aftermath of the earthquake and the efforts to rescue survivors.

The earthquake has caused significant devastation in both Myanmar and Thailand, with buildings collapsing, roads destroyed, and widespread chaos. Rescue teams are working around the clock to search for survivors and provide aid to those affected by the disaster.

This tragedy serves as a harsh reminder of the unpredictable and destructive power of natural disasters. Our thoughts are with the victims and their loved ones during this difficult time.
