The World Health Organization said Sunday the Myanmar earthquake was a top-level emergency as it urgently sought $8 million to save lives and prevent disease outbreaks over the next 30 days.
"Preliminary assessments indicate high numbers of casualties and trauma-related injuries, with urgent needs for emergency care," the WHO said, adding that it had "classified this crisis as a Grade 3 emergency -- the highest level of activation under its Emergency Response Framework."
