A month ago, Bangkok was hit by a massive tremor, followed by several aftershocks. A massive earthquake in Myanmar sent buildings in the Thai capital shaking and one solitary office tower, still under construction, folded in on itself. Meanwhile, tens of thousands are still homeless and at risk of diseases as Myanmar struggles to rebuild in the aftermath of the powerful tremor. Alexander Matheou, Regional Director for Asia Pacific at the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, talks to CNA’s Loke Wei Sue.
