But as you say, it's also politically important because it's a stark contrast, isn't it, to say, on one hand, we're stopping the ceasefire because this humanitarian disaster is so grave. We all need to be focusing on that. and on the other hand you have a Myanmar military continuing to bomb.

It isn't there, yeah, and I think very sadly we've passed that golden period after an earthquake where rescue workers typically believe that people can stay alive under the rubble. So while the focus moves away from the rescue, sadly perhaps... The focus now is on how do we keep those that survived it alive. Rebecca Henschke.

Unsere Berichterin Rebecca Henschke hat uns mehr über die Rettungsaufgaben in Myanmar erzählt. We are seeing now teams, Malaysian teams, Chinese teams, they are still finding people alive. But my colleague from BBC Burmese did reach a preschool in just the outskirts of Mandalay and that has completely collapsed. And we're still learning about the sheer scale of the destruction, aren't we?

Wir sind es. Und es gibt keinen Zweifel, dass diese Todesstärke erhöht wird. Es ist extrem schwierig, eine klare Bildung zu bekommen. Aber sobald Teams mehr auf dem Boden gehen können, meine Kollegen von BBC Burmese, finden wir nur hunderten von Leuten, die noch unter dem Rumpel sind. Und das ist in großen Bereichen. Also wird die Todesstärke sicherlich erhöht.

Meanwhile, the conflict in Myanmar is still continuing. That's right. The Myanmar military has continued to carry out ground attacks. I've had confirmation from the rebel groups in the Sagai region, the worst affected region. They've carried out heavy mortar attacks against the rebels, they told me. They've also carried out airstrikes.

So this is at a time, as we've talked about, that people are in desperate need of rescue work. Yet the military in the face of calls from the United Nations, from Singapore to carry out an immediate ceasefire and focus on humanitarian aid, they are continuing this war to suppress opposition, suppress this pro-democracy uprising.

Yeah, that will make things much more difficult. And we're hearing from people who are now sleeping out on the streets, they're heading into their fourth night out on the streets, that they don't have fresh drinking water. And also the other issue is that there is just so many deceased people, dead bodies, that crematorians are working overtime, but there's concern about the spread of disease.

Since the Myanmar military staged a coup, it's sort of been plunged into international isolation, but there's been three countries that have kept a fairly close relationship. with the military regime. That's India, China and Russia. And we are seeing those countries sending in aid that is starting to arrive.

They're also sending rescue teams that have had experience, particularly from China, with earthquakes. Although this is slow, you know, rescue workers talk about a golden period after an earthquake where you need to reach people that are trapped. Das ist das Gleiche, was wir von Anfang an gehört haben, dass sie immer noch Leute mit ihren Händen ausüben und sie nicht so schweres Equipment bekommen.
