Myanmar’s shadow National Unity Government (NUG), which leads the resistance against the military regime, has declared a unilateral partial ceasefire to support earthquake relief operations.This announcement comes despite reports that the ruling junta has carried out airstrikes following Friday’s devastating earthquake, which has claimed over 1,600 lives, with the toll expected to rise further. The situation remains politically and socially unstable. Matt Hunt reports from Bangkok.
