A 37-member rescue and medical team from Yunnan Province, China, returned home on Sunday afternoon after completing earthquake relief efforts in Myanmar.
Following a 7.9-magnitude earthquake that struck Myanmar on March 28, the team departed from Kunming, the capital of Yunnan, on the morning of March 29, carrying essential equipment such as life detectors, seismic warning systems, satellite phones, and drones.
As the first Chinese rescue unit to arrive in Myanmar, the team collaborated with local firefighters and rescuers in Naypyidaw, the hardest-hit area, conducting rescue and medical operations for more than 150 hours.
On March 30 at 5 a.m. local time, they successfully rescued an elderly person who had been trapped for nearly 40 hours in a local hospital, with the help of local teams.
According to China Media Group, over 500 Chinese rescue workers were operating in Myanmar as part of the overall relief mission. By Thursday, Chinese teams had rescued nine people from the earthquake-affected zones.
