The military government in Myanmar has said at least 2,000 people were killed in the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that hit last Friday.
“A death toll over 10,000 is a strong possibility,” according to the US Geological Survey.
The Burmese army, which has previously downplayed civilian casualties after other large natural disasters, is not allowing foreign journalists into the country.
From neighbouring Thailand, BBC Verify’s Nick Beake has been building a picture of the impact of the quake in the worst affected areas that we know about.
