• At least 1,644 people have been killed in a powerful earthquake that hit Myanmar on Friday, according to the country’s military government.
• More than 3,400 people have been injured and 139 are still missing after the magnitude 7.7 quake, with rescue efforts continuing.
• At least 10 more deaths have been reported in neighbouring Thailand’s capital Bangkok, some 1,000km (620 miles) from the epicentre in Myanmar’s Mandalay region.
• The quake destroyed buildings, bridges and roads across swaths of Myanmar. Many believe the true scale of the disaster has yet to emerge due to patchy communications in remote areas.
