Burma’s state media reported on Saturday that 73 people had died as a result of the 7.0 magnitude tremor and its subsequent aftershocks on Thursday and Friday.
“At least 150 people were killed. The worst hit areas were Tahlay and Mong Linn", said a member of the Red Cross based in Tachilek on the Thai-Burmese border.
