The death toll from a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Myanmar jumped to more than 1,000 on Saturday as more bodies were pulled from the rubble of scores of buildings that collapsed when it struck near the country’s second-largest city. World Health Organization spokesperson Tarik Jasarevic said, ‘Myanmar has been a conflict area for years, and the health system has been weakened. The country may not have all the necessary capacity to deal with this catastrophe.
