Myanmar quake victim rescued after 5 days as aid calls grow

A man is rescued from the rubble of a hotel in Myanmar five days after a major earthquake, as calls for aid and an end to attacks on rebels grow. The earthquake killed over 2,700 people and left thousands homeless. The junta chief vows to continue defensive activities against terrorists. UN agencies, rights groups, and foreign governments urge all sides in Myanmar's civil war to focus on helping those affected by the quake. The true scale of the disaster is still unknown due to communication and infrastructure issues. Relief efforts are hindered by ongoing fighting between the junta and armed groups opposed to its rule.
