My sincere prayers for all those affected by the aftermath of the #earthquake in #Myanmar and #Thailand.
Hitting the news today is the earthquake in Myanmar. this has caused devastation and destruction to the area and lives of those living there. But what about aftershocks? How dangerous are they? Aftershocks are actually mini, lesser earthquakes. But can be just as dangerous in an area already hit by devastation. They also add to the fears of people who are distressed.

Myanmar Museum Update
A team of journalists was at the National Museum in Naypyitaw when the #earthquake struck. Pieces fell from the ceiling as the building began shaking. Uniformed staff ran outside, some trembling and tearful, others grabbing cellphones.

My heart is aching for #Myanmar 
The people don’t deserve this. It’s not their fault, it’s not their fate. I hope that international support will be fast, effective and plenty and that the military will not politicise suffering as they like to do.
