BANGKOK (Reuters) -Signs of life were detected in the ruins of a skyscraper in Bangkok on Monday as efforts intensified to find people trapped three days after a massive earthquake in Southeast Asia that killed at least 2,

It sent buildings in many areas toppling to the ground, buckled roads, caused bridges to collapse and burst a dam.

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.

The death toll in Bangkok has risen to 17 following a powerful earthquake that struck neighbouring Myanmar, Thai authorities said on Sunday, as rescue teams search for survivors in the rubble of a collapsed high-rise building.

The death toll from last week's 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar rose to 3,085 people as of Thursday morning, according to the country's military government.

More than 1,600 people have died in Myanmar and 10 in Thailand after a devastating 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Friday.

The leader of Myanmar's junta Min Aung Hlaing is set to travel to Bangkok on Thursday for a regional summit to address the response to the deadly earthquake that rocked his country nearly one week ago.

Aid groups in the worst-hit areas of Myanmar said there was an urgent need for shelter, food and water after an earthquake that killed more than 2,700 people.
