Rescue workers pulled more bodies from the rubble in Myanmar today after a powerful earthquake hit yesterday.
The magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck at midday with the epicenter not far from the city of Mandalay.
The quake was followed by several aftershocks - including one measuring 6.4.
More than 90 people could be trapped inside the crushed remains of an apartment block in Mandalay in central Myanmar destroyed by a devastating earthquake, a Red Cross official told AFP as rescuers worked to free the victims.
Officials have said more than 1,600 people have died. Thousands of others were injured and dozens are still missing.
