Three Chinese rescue teams departed Myanmar for China on Wednesday after assisting the Southeast Asian country in relief operations following a devastating earthquake that had claimed more than 3,600 lives as of Tuesday.
According to a statement from the Information Team of Myanmar's State Administration Council, the death toll from the earthquake has risen to 3,645 in the country, with 5,017 people injured and 148 still missing as of 18:00 local time on Tuesday.
The Chinese People's Liberation Army Air Force dispatched four Y-20 transport aircraft to bring home the three rescue teams -- the China Search and Rescue Team, the China International Search and Rescue Team, and a team sent by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region.
The Y-20 aircraft arrived with the fourth batch of emergency humanitarian relief supplies from China, which include tents, sleeping bags, mosquito nets, and other essential supplies.
Before departing, Chinese rescue teams donated their remaining tents, food, and other materials to local communities in need.
Two earthquake rescue vehicles and thousands of pieces of equipment used by Chinese rescuers during the operation were also transported back to China.
On Tuesday, the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) warned that in Myanmar's earthquake-stricken areas, many people are sleeping on the streets out of fear that buildings may collapse.
They also face growing risks of waterborne diseases, while the local healthcare system is already overwhelmed, the report said.
A recent UN report revealed that over 17.2 million people in Myanmar are living in the affected areas and are in urgent need of food, clean drinking water, medical care, financial support, and emergency shelter.
The report also noted that more than 500,000 people currently lack access to healthcare services.
