Narrow the margins to find survivors in the ruins of buildings from the deadly earthquake in Myanmar
The time to save survivors in the debris of the leveling buildings in Myanmar is narrowed, with rescuers fighting an unequal battle with time, almost two 24 hours after the devastating 7.7 -magnitude Richter earthquake that hit the country.
More than 1,600 dead and 3,800 injured are the official report so far released by the junta that rules in Myanmar, and there are even tens of thousands of victims. In fact, there are estimates for 50, perhaps 100,000 dead.

In neighboring Thailand, the dead remain at 10. However, fears are expressing that they will increase as the hopes will be alive as the 50 workers who are trapped for more than 24 hours in the debris under construction of a collapse that collapsed.
On the spot, a giant rescue operation has been set up under the eyes of relatives and friends who pray for their own people to come out alive. According to authorities, more than 3,000 buildings have been damaged, but the prime minister speaks of a gradual return to normalcy.

Battle over time is given by rescuers to a high school that collapsed in the suburbs of Mandalai
Rescuers climbed on Saturday in the wreckage of the private high school Wisdom Villa, on the outskirts of the city of Mandalai, until they reached a door that prevented them from continuing. They shouted, “Is there any inside?”
The dozens of people who had gathered around and watched were quiet, waiting to hear a cry, a voice, a whisper. Nothing. The six -storey building collapsed from Friday’s earthquake. Everything left is ruins about a height and a half -floor height. Railways pop up between the pieces of concrete, distorted like trees roots, tired of the 7.7 -degree earthquake. Among the debris lies, with the face in the soil, a giant plush teddy bear, dressed in a pink t -shirt.
According to residents, at least seven people remain trapped inside the building. The two are teachers, the rest of the students. Another seven were killed and two were recovered alive, hours after the earthquake.
Dozens of people, relatives or neighbors of the missing, sit around the building, waiting to hear a good news.
Yin Nou, whose 26 -year -old daughter, Yamin Sue Zin, is a educator and trapped in the building, is trying to stay calm. Rescuers assure that earlier they heard Yamin shout: “I’m the teacher Yamin. I’m alive here. Help me, please thirst,” he allegedly said.
Since then, her mother counts for hours. “I didn’t close eye all night,” he says with tears in his eyes. “I was twisting like the crazy around the building. All I could do was shouting her name and cry. Nothing else.” This school is attended by about 200 students, aged 12-15 years. The quarter was over and, fortunately, most of them were gone. Those in one of his two buildings were able to leave. Those who were in the other and rehearsed for the forthcoming water feast, the traditional New Year in Myanmar, were trapped in the ruins.
“I managed to escape,” said 35 -year -old teacher Kim Zin, who carries a big trauma on the front. “Here we are talking about natural disaster, this can happen at any time,” he said.
Rescuers are trying to open a passage between the concrete slabs to reach the point where they assume that the trapped are.
Gin mind hopes that her daughter, one of her four children, survived. “My son said he was afraid he would not come out alive. I find it difficult to accept it, he is my daughter. He was always careful. Every time he goes to the temple or visits an ice -go, he praying to become the daughter who will nurture her elderly parents,” she said.
