Many fear for the missing, whose chances drop sharply after this evening, when a crucial 72-hour survival window closes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Amid the natural destruction, the governing military junta over the weekend continued a brutal bombing campaign. A long-running civil war has ravaged the country, leaving nearly 20 million people in need of shelter and food even before the quake, according to the U.N. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\"><strong class=\"css-8qgvsz ebyp5n10\">Power: <\/strong>Experts say the earthquake could change the trajectory of the civil war.
