Local relief workers in eastern State Sate said on Saturday that the death toll from the powerful earthquake that shook Shan State on Thursday night could very likely rise to more than 150.
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.
