‘Nothing is left’ – Myanmar resident reels from earthquake

The BBC is in Myanmar’s capital Nay Pyi Taw to see the destruction caused by a powerful earthquake that struck on Friday.

It hit central Myanmar, near the city of Mandalay, more than 200km (125 miles) from Nay Pyi Taw.

One local resident described a lack of sleep and the inability to rebuild because of aftershocks. Makeshift hospitals have been set up after an emergency department collapsed.

More than 1,700 people have been killed by the quake in Myanmar and thousands more injured.
