A massive earthquake has struck Myanmar, causing widespread destruction and leaving thousands dead. Amidst the devastation, rescue teams pulled a 26-year-old man, Naing Lin Tun, alive from the rubble of a hotel in Naypyitaw, marking a rare success story amidst the tragedy.

The 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Friday, toppling buildings and infringing on an already strained humanitarian situation in conflict-torn Myanmar. With the death toll rising, local militias have declared a ceasefire allowing for humanitarian relief to reach affected areas, though military and militia skirmishes persist.

International aid has started pouring in with countries like Australia, India, and the US sending assistance. However, infrastructure challenges and ongoing security issues complicate the relief efforts. The global community is stepping up aid to Myanmar, urgently highlighting the need for a focus on saving lives over continuing conflicts.
