Myanmar Junta Abandons Gov’t Workers in Earthquake Rubble

Myanmar’s administrative capital Naypyitaw was among the hardest hit parts of the country when the powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck last Friday.

Many buildings collapsed at the military regime’s nerve center, killing people and trapping them under the rubble, according to government employees.

But even there the regime failed to carry out any effective rescue and relief operations, leaving civil servants and their families buried under the collapsed Khayay Housing Complex and other staff housing in Zabuthiri Township.
