A powerful earthquake has struck Myanmar, killing over 2,000 people and leaving many more trapped under rubble. Rescue efforts have been severely hampered by the country's military regime, which has blocked access to some of the worst-hit areas, particularly rebel-held regions. International aid has been slow, with the U.S. criticized for its limited response due to past foreign aid cuts, while countries like China and Russia have stepped in. Volunteers and local rescuers are struggling with limited resources, often digging through debris with their bare hands. The disaster highlights the deadly consequences of political instability and underfunded emergency infrastructure.

Помощта идва бавно за разрушения от войната град в Мианмар, засегнат от земетресение
As the death toll rose past 2,000, some volunteers complained of being blocked by Myanmar’s military from reaching a rebel stronghold that was badly hit.

Тръмповите намаления на помощта на САЩ за развитие увреждат отговора на земетресението в Мианмар.
While China, Russia and other nations have rushed emergency response teams to the devastated country, the U.S., once a leader in foreign aid, has been slow to act.
