🚧 A Chinese search and rescue team, deployed to earthquake-hit Myanmar, is racing against time to support relief efforts despite major hurdles. CGTN reporter Cen Ziyuan joined the team in Mandalay after a grueling journey on roads wrecked by tremors—a trip that took way longer than planned. Talk about a rocky start! 🌋
🔗 Working under a UN-led mission, the team is coordinating with global responders, but internet access in affected areas remains spotty. Imagine trying to send a text with one bar of signal… now multiply that by a disaster zone. 📵
💬 “The collaboration is key,” said one rescuer, stressing the importance of cross-border teamwork. But without reliable comms, sharing real-time updates is like playing phone tag across mountains. 🏔️⚡
🌏 For young globetrotters and news buffs tracking this crisis, it’s a stark reminder of how infrastructure limits disaster response. Yet, amid the chaos, hope persists—one rugged road at a time. ✨
