The China Red Cross International Rescue Team is racing against time to uncover potential survivors in Mandalay, Myanmar, following reports of people trapped under collapsed structures. Despite exhausting searches yielding no immediate signs of life, the team remains steadfast, with crew leader Wang Lei stating: "Every minute counts in rescue workâwe will continue until every possibility is eliminated."
CGTN reporter Zhou Jiaxin documented the team's painstaking efforts, highlighting their use of advanced sonar equipment and sniffer dogs to comb debris. The operation has drawn local support, with Myanmar volunteers assisting in logistics amid recurring aftershocks complicating efforts.
This mission marks the team's third international deployment this year, reflecting China's growing role in global disaster response coordination. Analysts note such collaborations strengthen regional partnerships, with ASEAN disaster management agencies coordinating airspace clearances for emergency supplies.
