'Nearly 10,000' Feared Dead in Myanmar Earthquake, Death Toll May Even 'Exceed 100,000'

The death toll from an earthquake in Myanmar and Thailand continues to rise with one prediction that fatalities could exceed 100,000. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) said Saturday that between 10,000 and 100,000 people may have been killed following the 7.7 earthquake which struck near Mandalay, in the centre of the country, on Friday and was felt in neighbouring nations. As of Saturday morning, the confirmed death toll topped 1,000 on Saturday with 2,376 injured, according to the country's military-led government. Myanmar declared a state of emergency across the six worst-affected regions after the quake.

Going from 1, 000 yesterday to maybe 100, 000 in one day is not a good thing😳

_I cried ALL day yesterday for all the people. After seeing the videos everybody knew there were countless more than "150" that lost their lives. We won't even know the true number for months...if ever. I'm just so sorry and deeply grieved for all involved. Maranatha_

Devastating, my deepest thoughts for all losses, such a tragedy.😢

[mjleger]

Too sad for words, it's doubtful that they have any idea yet, regarding how many have been killed in this terrible tragedy. What can one say, except that our hearts are with you, and we wish you comfort, healing and peace as you deal with your overwhelming devastation, shock and grief over the loss of homes and lives. We won't forget you.

In the time of the last 100 years ( or even maybe the last 200 years ), these countries ( Myanmar 🇲🇲 and Thailand 🇹🇭 ) have never been shaken by a major earthquake.

Therefore, there is no harm for them to taste a little of the shock of the recent earthquake.
