Accepted Answer

Chances of Finding Additional Survivors Significantly Reduced

The current assessment indicates that the chances of finding additional survivors from the earthquake in Myanmar's Sagaing region are now significantly reduced. This evaluation comes after the Special Malaysia Disaster Assistance and Rescue Team (SMART) focused its search-and-rescue (SAR) efforts on two specific worksites.
Focus on Mozar Quarter and Paramic Monastery

The SAR operation, on its third day, concentrated its efforts on two key locations: the Mozar Quarter and the Paramic Monastery. These sites have been identified as areas of particular concern within the affected region.
Evidence of Extreme Impact and Deceased Victims

Both the Mozar Quarter and Paramic Monastery worksites are exhibiting signs of extreme impact from the earthquake. Furthermore, these locations are also showing indications of a high number of deceased victims, contributing to the grim assessment.
Recovery of Six Bodies and One Survivor

Prior to this assessment, the SMART team had successfully recovered six bodies and managed to rescue one survivor from the rubble. The recovered individuals ranged in age from eight to 56 years old, comprising three males and three females among the deceased. The sole survivor is a 40-year-old man.
