“I have not been able to eat after this happened, I cannot eat at all,” she told CNA, her voice raw with anguish.
“But the sight of this hotel reminds me that I have to eat. I tried to eat. I told them (my family): ‘Mama is coming to you. I am doing everything in my power. Stay strong, my loved ones.’ I am hanging onto this belief.”
MINUTE OF SILENCE
Myanmar on Tuesday (Apr 1) held a minute’s silence for those who lost their lives in the country’s worst earthquake in more than a century.
Sirens blared across the nation at 12.51pm local time, marking the exact time of the earthquake that struck last Friday.
The army has declared a week of national mourning, with flags flying at half-mast on official buildings until Sunday.
