The Philippine Embassy in Myanmar has relocated and provided temporary lodgings to Filipinos who sought assistance following the magnitude-7.7 earthquake that left thousands dead in the devastated country.

BANGKOK (AP) — The death toll from the earthquake that hit Myanmar nearly a week ago rose Thursday to 3,145 as search and rescue teams found more bodies, the military-led government said, and humanitarian aid groups scrambled to provide survivors medical care and shelter.

Two survivors have been pulled from under the rubble of collapsed buildings in Myanmar, more than five days after the country was struck by a devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake.

Five friends defied the junta to care for people injured in the military coup. One returned from the battlefield to find his four friends among the dead in the March 28 earthquake.

Day after day, Chinese rescue teams haul children and elderly people from collapsed buildings. Cameras beam the thanks of grateful survivors around the world.

Myanmar's religious temples stood as symbols of faith and history. After the recent 7.7 magnitude earthquake, many are wondering: will they ever rise again or are they lost forever?
