A squad of the Ministry for Emergency Situations of Belarus completed a search and rescue operation in Myanmar

The search and rescue team ZUBR of the Ministry for Emergency Situations of Belarus has completed its work in Myanmar after the earthquake and is returning home on a flight that delivered humanitarian aid to the victims of the disaster. The Belarusian team continued continuous work in the city of Mandalay for 5 days. Specialists cut the rebar with the help of mechanised tools and manually dismantled the rubble to get to possible survivors. The work was carried out in extremely difficult conditions: narrow confined spaces, construction dust, heat, possible collapse of damaged and unstable building structures. The Belarusian team found and extracted 8 dead people from under the rubble during their stay in Myanmar.
