Mandalay crematoriums overwhelmed as Myanmar quake death toll mounts

Crematoriums in Mandalay are struggling to cope with a surge in fatalities following a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar on Friday. 

Major cemeteries, including Kyanikan, Taung-Inn, and Myauk-Inn, are overwhelmed, with bodies piling up as families seek to cremate their deceased.

"Yesterday, we cremated over 300 bodies. This morning, more than 200 have already been processed," a resident at a cremation site told Myanmar Now, requesting anonymity due to the sensitive nature of the situation.
