THE Chinese rescue team could save four people alive overnight in Mandalay, according to the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Myanmar.
Jointly by Chinese rescue and Ramunion rescue, three people- a five-year-old child, a pregnant woman and a 29-year-old woman were rescued at 5:37 am and 6:20 am the local time on 31 March after they had been trapped for more than 60 hours inside the Sky Villa which had collapsed in the quake in Mandalay.
Another woman who was trapped in the Great Wall Hotel was saved alive on the same day, it said.
On 30 March at around 10 am, the State Administration Council Chairman Senior General Min Aung Hlaing met Yunnan rescue members and expressed his appreciation for arriving in Myanmar shortly after the quake.
