The Spin

Narrative A

With overwhelmed hospitals lacking basic supplies and space to treat victims and many medical facilities remaining closed due to the military regime's persecution of health care workers who opposed its rule, the earthquake has exposed Myanmar's severely weakened healthcare system after four years of junta rule.

The Straits Times

Narrative B

The military government is doing its best to coordinate relief efforts and welcome international assistance. Though the oppressive heat has exhausted rescue teams, the teams remain focused on searching for missing persons amid collapsed buildings, downed bridges, and buckled roads and treating the injured.

Irrawaddy

Narrative C

Despite this unprecedented disaster compounding an already dire humanitarian crisis, Myanmar's military continues to strike Sagaing, Magway, Shan, and Kachin with brutal force. This shows a flagrant disregard for the welfare of the people and human life during a humanitarian crisis.
