Four more people have been pulled from the rubbles nearly 60 hours after a powerful 7.7 magnitude earthquake struck Myanmar on Friday, killing at least 1,700 people in the south-east Asian country.

Myanmar's Fire Service says the survivors were rescued from a collapsed school building in the northern Sagaing region, from which a body was also recovered.

Hundreds of people remain missing, with search and rescue efforts underway in both Myanmar and Thailand.

The death toll has risen to 18 people in the Thai capital, Bangkok, where 76 workers are still missing following the collapse of a high-rise building that had been under construction.
