People bathed and cooked next to a river in Myanmar's second largest city, finding shelter in flimsy tents on Tuesday as the city grappled with the aftermath of a deadly earthquake.

In Myanmar, the number of earthquake victims has risen to 2,719, with more than 4,500 people injured. Authorities warn that the death toll could exceed three thousand. What do you need to know? An earthquake with a magnitude of 7.

The death toll from the massive earthquake that hit Myanmar nearly a week ago has increased to 3,145 as more bodies were found by search and rescue teams, the military-led government said. In a short statement, information minister Maung Maung Ohn said another 4,589 people have been injured and 221 others are missing.
