Myanmar's Earthquake Worsens The Current Dire Situation

A 7.7 magnitude earthquake hit Myanmar last Friday, leaving more than 2,000 casualties and 3,900 injured victims in its wake. Relief efforts are still ongoing, and rescuers from several countries have joined local efforts to locate survivors. We speak to Jaw Tu Hkawng, freelance Journalist, legal advocate & activist to get a clearer picture of the situation on the ground.
