The rescue and medical teams led by the Bangladesh Armed Forces is continuing rescue operations in the devastating earthquake-hit Myanmar.

A Bangladesh rescue team, consisting members from the Bangladesh Army's Engineering Corps, the Navy, the Air Force, and experienced personnel from the Fire Service and Civil Defence Department, conducted operations today (6 April) at the collapsed building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Myanmar, reads a press release from ISPR. 

The Bangladesh team has played a crucial role in recovering important documents, computers, and other essential equipment from the government building, read the release.

In continuation of these efforts, the Myanmar Ministry of Foreign Affairs has requested the Bangladesh team to continue the rescue operations tomorrow as well, it added.

Meanwhile, the Bangladesh medical assistance team has continued providing treatment at various hospitals in Naypyidaw. 

The team successfully carried out surgery on a child, who had sustained severe injuries in the earthquake, at the 1,000-bed General Hospital and provided advanced medical care. The team also participated in five other major surgeries.

Tomorrow, the Bangladesh team will again coordinate with local authorities and other agencies to continue the rescue and medical efforts in Myanmar.

Following the devastating earthquake that struck Myanmar on 28 March, a specialised rescue and medical support team from the Bangladesh Armed Forces under the directives of the chief adviser has been operating in Naypyidaw since 1 April, providing crucial relief and medical assistance.
