And, as an example of how getting aid in will be hard:

The main airport in Myanmar’s capital of Naypyitaw has been closed after Friday’s earthquake caused its air traffic control tower to collapse, killing at least six people, according to a news report.

The independent outlet Myanmar Now also said there were reports of extensive damage to aviation equipment.

It reported a source as saying that an air traffic controller, three female assistants, the son of one of the assistants and a military intelligence officer were confirmed dead following the collapse of the tower.

The report could not be independently verified.

It also cited an aviation officer at Yangon’s international airport as saying the radar systems at the airports in Naypyitaw and Mandalay were no longer operating.
