The devastating earthquake in Myanmar has indeed caused significant loss of life and injury.
As of the latest reports, the death toll has risen to over 1,000, with 1,670 people injured, according to state media.
However, other sources suggest the death toll could be even higher, potentially exceeding 10,000, as estimated by the U.S. Geological Survey.
The earthquake, which struck near Mandalay, Myanmar's second-largest city, has caused widespread destruction, with many buildings collapsing, including a mosque in Mandalay where at least 20 people lost their lives.
Rescue efforts are ongoing, with the country's military government declaring an emergency situation and international aid efforts underway
