A Chinese rescue team pulled a man from the debris of a collapsed hotel in Mandalay, Myanmar, on Wednesday afternoon, marking their ninth successful extraction since beginning operations in the area. The survivor, an employee of the E-outfitting Golden Country Hotel, was trapped under rubble for over 120 hours but remained in stable condition upon rescue.
The individual was swiftly transferred to a local hospital for medical care. Chinese rescuers emphasized their continued commitment to search efforts, highlighting the challenges of locating survivors after prolonged periods. ‘Every minute counts in these situations,’ said a team spokesperson during a briefing. ‘Our focus remains on saving lives.’
The operation follows a recent surge in regional disaster response collaboration, underscoring China’s role in cross-border humanitarian efforts. Analysts note the rescue aligns with broader initiatives to strengthen international ties through coordinated emergency protocols in earthquake-prone regions.
