CNA News 11 April 2025 he death toll from Myanmar’s recent 7.7-magnitude earthquake has surpassed 3,500, with the United Nations saying that number is likely to rise. The destruction from the quake, which was one of the strongest tremors to strike the country in a century, has compounded the suffering already brought on by years of civil war. Tom Andrews, UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in Myanmar, tells CNA’s Asia First how the conflict in Myanmar is affecting relief operations after the earthquake.
