Rescuers keep searching for survivors, four days on from Myanmar quake

Rescue workers kept on searching for survivors of last week's Myanmar earthquake on Tuesday, April 1, four days on from a disaster which has killed more than 2,700 people.

Aid groups in Myanmar on Tuesday warned the window to find survivors was fast closing. One rescuer said they could smell decaying bodies under the rubble.

But in a rare survival story, a 63-year-old woman was pulled from the rubble of a building in Naypyitaw after being trapped for 91 hours. She was found on Tuesday morning and pulled out an hour later, the Myanmar fire department said, following a joint rescue with teams from India, China and Russia.
