How did the political situation in Myanmar impact the rescue and recovery operations?

The high death toll in Mandalay resulted from the structural design of many high-rise buildings. The lack of interior walls on the ground floors, primarily occupied by shops and cafes, caused these floors to collapse completely during the earthquake, while upper floors remained largely intact. This structural failure led to the high number of casualties, in addition to over 7,000 injuries and hundreds missing.

A major earthquake struck Myanmar on March 28th, closing major airports and stranding Russian tourists. Two airports are shut down, canceling all flights, forcing tourists to either wait or travel eight hours to Yangon, the only currently operating airport.
