AT around 1pm on Friday March 28, the biggest earthquake for a generation, measuring 7.7 on the Richter scale, sent shockwaves throughout south-east Asia.
Initially, the world’s media focused on Bangkok, where an unfinished tower block collapsed killing dozens, but as news from Myanmar slowly came in, it became clear that the damage there was catastrophic, particularly in the heartland regions of Mandalay and Sagaing as well as the administrative capital Naypyidaw.
Over the last week, the horror stories have rolled in: 200 monks were killed at U Hla Thein Monastery in Mandalay in the middle of their religious exams and around the country many Muslim worshippers were killed during Friday prayers as their mosques were collapsing in on them.
