While the Myanmar junta reported over 1,600 deaths following the earthquake, preliminary modeling from the U.S. Geological Survey suggests the death toll could exceed 10,000. The discrepancy could be due to factors like the scale of the destruction, the ongoing search for survivors, and the potential underreporting of casualties in certain areas. The situation is still evolving, as rescuers continue to search through the rubble for possible survivors, and the toll could rise as more information comes in, according to The New York Times.
