Others struggled to come to terms with all they had lost.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Downed power lines, destroyed roads and a lack of equipment made rescue work even harder in a city already enduring a repressive military government and a civil war that is now in its fourth year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere are at least a hundred people still trapped inside,\u201d said Thaw Zin, a volunteer who was sitting in front of a destroyed condominium. \u201cWe are trying our best with what we have.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The earthquake, which struck at about 12:50 p.m. Friday local time, was only the third of such magnitude to hit the region in the past century. The extent of the catastrophe remains enormous: the Myanmar military junta declared a state of emergency in six regions. These include rebel-controlled areas where there is little internet and millions of displaced people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Su Wai Lin managed to escape with her husband and mother-in-law when the earthquake struck, but her husband ran back into their apartment building in Mandalay to save their 90-year-old neighbor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Then the building collapsed, killing her husband and the neighbor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI can\u2019t put into words the pain I feel,\u201d said Ms. Su Wai Lin, who is six months pregnant, weeping as she spoke at a hospital. \u201cMy child will be born without a father. We may have survived physically, but our hearts and emotions are shattered.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Saturday, the streets were jammed with ambulances that were heading to Pyin Oo Lwin, a town about a two-hour drive from Mandalay. The overcrowded hospitals in Mandalay were unable to accept more patients.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Tay Zar Lin was picking mangoes when the ground started shaking. He fell from the tree he was in, breaking his leg. At a hospital in Mandalay on Friday, no doctors were available, so he waited all night, in pain, and finally saw a doctor Saturday morning.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Tay Zar Lin, who got married last month, said he had just learned that his wife was still trapped inside a collapsed building that houses the tailor shop where she works.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI don\u2019t know if she\u2019s alive or not,\u201d said Mr. Tay Zar Lin, whose leg is in a cast. \u201cI pray that yesterday morning wasn\u2019t the last time I saw her.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He said that if Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, Myanmar\u2019s ousted and imprisoned civilian leader, were in charge now, \u201cmany trapped people would have been rescued, and unnecessary deaths could have been prevented.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">There was growing anger against the military, which seized power in a coup in February 2021. Mr. Thaw Zin, the volunteer rescuer, said soldiers and police officers had turned up but did nothing to help.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThey are here hanging around with their guns,\u201d he said. \u201cWe don\u2019t need guns, we need helping hands and kind hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">By Saturday morning, dozens of ordinary people from other cities in Myanmar had packed their cars and vans with supplies and headed into Mandalay, hoping to pitch in. Doctors from the nationwide Civil Disobedience Movement \u2014 the resistance movement against the junta \u2014 traveled from the rebel-held areas of Kayin, Tanintharyi and Lashioto to help, many of them returning to their hometown. Several international aid groups said they were rushing to the disaster sites.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cNone of us are trained for earthquake rescues,\u201d said Ko Thein Win, a volunteer rescue worker who had rushed to the site of a destroyed condominium. \u201cYesterday, we found some survivors, but today, the chances are much lower.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He said they urgently needed skilled rescue workers and heavy machinery such as excavators.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Eaint Thadar Phyu, 18, an English teacher in Mandalay, said she was on the second floor of the hostel where she was staying when the earthquake struck. She was hurrying to pack up some basic items such as her identification card when an aftershock hit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI thought I was going to die,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Eaint Thadar Phyu said she couldn\u2019t sleep Friday night because of a series of aftershocks. \u201cI was scared they would turn into a huge one again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The scope of the death toll was still unclear, but the scale of the disaster was stark: heaps of collapsed rubble, from monasteries to condominiums, dotted the landscape.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mandalay, with a population of about 1.5 million, is Myanmar\u2019s second-largest city. A former royal capital, it is known as a center for Burmese culture and Buddhism, home to numerous temples, monasteries and pagodas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Saturday morning, shaken residents gathered at hospitals and relief centers, and contemplated all that they had lost. Red tents were set up for rescue workers to rest in 100-degree heat. Residents talked about how their home had become a ruined city. Many were still walking around in tears.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Long lines formed at gas stations as people stocked up on fuel, preparing for days without power.<\/p>\n<p
