A 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck the China-Myanmar border, shaking southern China, Myanmar, and northern Thailand. Families ran into the streets as buildings cracked and collapsed.
Dozens are dead, hundreds injured, and many still trapped. Landslides and broken roads have cut off remote villages, while hospitals in Myanmar are overwhelmed.
Entire communities lie in ruins—historic temples in Thailand, homes in Yunnan, and villages in Shan State destroyed within minutes.
Rescuers and international aid are on the ground, but the disaster has revealed fragile infrastructure and the urgent need for stronger preparedness.
Amid the devastation, hope endures—neighbors sheltering one another, strangers lending a hand, and communities finding strength to rebuild.
