Since the devastating earthquake struck Myanmar, communication has been difficult, including in Mandalay, making it hard to assess the true extent of the damage.
The number of people killed has now risen to 2,056, with more than 3,000 injured, and many still trapped beneath the rubble as rescue efforts continue.
At the same time, airstrikes have been reported in Bamaw Township (Kachin State) and Naungcho Township (Northern Shan State), raising concerns about the prioritisation of military operations over urgently needed humanitarian aid and disaster relief.
With entire communities struggling to recover, the lack of clear information and resources further deepens the crisis.
