That's right. I mean, the United Nations has called this outrageous, an incredible situation to have people Vielen Dank. Their forces will implement a two-week pause in the fighting. So their forces are the people's defense forces. They're a network of civilian militia groups. And they're saying this pause will be in earthquake-affected areas starting March the 30th.

And it will take place except for defensive actions. And they say that they're doing that in order for those militia groups to concentrate on the relief and rescue work. And what have you heard from the rebel-held areas? So that's also a key issue here. The National Unity Government, which is the opposition government, they're in exile.

So they are saying that they're trying to coordinate relief, they're trying to get funds. But on the ground, it's a real patchwork of resistance groups. They're all united with one goal of overthrowing the military. But it's not one united group. Ich glaube, das ist das, was wir hier sehen. Sie können nicht wirklich aufstehen und effektiv ĂŒber das Land sein. Es ist mehr ein sehr grassroots-Level.

Sie bekommen ihre KrĂ€fte, um Leute aus dem Rubbel zu holen. Aber wir sehen nicht, dass sie es können, den Gap zu fĂŒllen, den das MilitĂ€r verlĂ€sst.

Well, we're hearing from people that there isn't enough help. Frankly, people are saying that they're not getting the relief or the recovery effort that they need, which is to be expected given the state of the country. The epicentre of the earthquake, Sagai, is an area where there's been fierce fighting. So it's basically a volatile region.

battleground between pro-democracy rebels and the government. So even that area itself, the government has limited control of. So there's a real patchwork of people who should be doing things. We're hearing from the military government that they are going to get relief. We're also hearing from the rebels of the National Unity Government that they are trying to help.

But what we're seeing from the footage that is coming out is it's really people on the ground. I saw some quite extraordinary footage from my colleagues in the Burmese service of people literally with their hands helping a woman and a 10-month-old baby out of the rubble. That was in Naperville. And you see them there lying. She talks about how she was lying there praying for help.

It is very unusual. Since seizing power in that coup nearly four years ago, Min Aung Hlaing has plunged his country into isolation. So he has effectively shut the country off. So foreign journalists have been barred. Independent media basically shut down. We haven't got foreign aid workers in there. So for him to say we need international help is a sign of how bad things are.
