A representative for the Canadian Red Cross says the situation on the ground in Myanmar is “still very dire and tragic” days after a massive earthquake that has killed at least 1,600 people.
Canadian Red Cross senior operations manager Chiran Livera says teams of staff and volunteers made up of both international and local Red Cross workers were in Myanmar when the quake hit on Friday, and they have been able to distribute water and shelter kits from warehouses stationed around the country.
