⌨The newspapers report on the worsening situation in Myanmar following a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake, with the death toll now exceeding 1,600 and over 3,000 injured (Le Monde, France TV Info, BFMTV). A new aftershock was felt Sunday in Mandalay, the country's second-largest city and most affected region, as rescue operations continue to find survivors. International aid has begun arriving, but the country's inadequate preparation for such a natural disaster, compounded by four years of civil war that has weakened healthcare and emergency services, suggests the casualty figures will continue to rise.
