Three specialized rescue teams from China – including squads from the Chinese mainland and Hong Kong – touched down at Beijing Airport Wednesday after a 12-day emergency mission in earthquake-ravaged Myanmar. 🌏✨
A magnitude-7.9 quake triggered the deployment of over 300 personnel, who worked with local crews to save 9 survivors (one a pregnant woman!), recover 59 bodies, clear 287,000m² of rubble, and provide 2,000+ medical consultations. 💪🩺
China’s Ministry of Emergency Management called this its "fastest and largest international relief operation in years", highlighting cross-border teamwork during the crisis. 🤝🌍
