The death toll from the earthquake in Myanmar has reached 3,600, the state-run China Central Television (CCTV) reported on Monday, citing the Myanmar authorities.
The earthquake also left 5,017 people injured and 160 missing, the report said.
A 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar on March 28, with tremours felt in Bangladesh, India, Laos, China and Thailand.
The quake damaged underground oil pipelines, local authorities said the next day, adding that power lines had also been cut and oil tankers were arriving on the country’s shores to ease fuel shortages.
A number of countries, including Russia and Belarus, have been assisting Myanmar with relief efforts, including by sending rescue teams.
