‘We still have hope’: Searching for quake survivors in Mandalay

The BBC’s Burmese Service has been speaking to families and rescuers in Myanmar’s city of Mandalay, close to where a deadly 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck on Friday.

The death toll from the quake and a series of aftershocks has climbed past 2,700, with 4,521 injured and hundreds still missing, according to Myanmar’s military chief.

“We still have hope,” one man told the BBC as he waits to find out what happened to his missing sisters, who have been trapped in rubble since last week. He said 11 floors of a building collapsed on them.
