BBC visits makeshift hospital treating earthquake victims in Myanmar


The ruling military junta in Myanmar say the death toll after last week’s devastating earthquake now stands at almost 2,900 people.

The actual death toll is feared to be much higher, with many people still stuck under the rubble in affected cities.

The ruling military junta declared that it will not let foreign journalists into the country after the earthquake making it hard to report from the country.

The BBC’s Yogita Limaye has become the first foreign journalist to enter the country since the disaster struck and travelled to the city of Mandalay.

You can see the full report from Yogita Limaye on the BBC News website from 17:00 BST and on BBC News at 18:00
