Myanmar's Earthquake Worsens The Current Dire Situation

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.
