Myanmar quake relief slowed by info blackout, red tape

Quick Summary:

More than 3,000 dead and thousands injured as Myanmar earthquake strikes, with aid efforts hindered by an information blackout and urgent need for medical supplies including blood transfusions.

People who rely on daily treatment to manage chronic conditions such as HIV, tuberculosis, diabetes and hypertension have become even more vulnerable due to a lack of access to shelter, health care, and medicines, says MSF.

It says there is a growing shortage of food, water and medical supplies, including for blood transfusions.
