In a display of cross-border solidarity, Chinese emergency teams rescued four survivors from collapsed buildings in Mandalay, Myanmar, after a powerful earthquake rattled the region. Among those pulled from the debris early Monday were a five-year-old girl and a pregnant woman, both trapped for more than 60 hours following the disaster.
A 91-member delegation from five Chinese emergency response units, coordinated by China's Ministry of Emergency Management, joined local efforts in Myanmar to search for survivors. The operation underscores growing regional cooperation in disaster management across Asia.
While the full scale of the earthquake's impact remains under assessment, the successful rescue has drawn international attention to the critical role of swift humanitarian intervention. Experts highlight that such collaborations could set precedents for future joint responses to natural disasters in seismically active zones.
