MANDALAY, Myanmar - A rescue team dispatched by the HKSAR government started relief operations immediately after arriving in the earthquake-hit areas of Myanmar on Monday.

After coordinating with other teams, it conducted on-site assessments and rapid searches in multiple areas and provided medical aid, food supplies, and technical support in the districts of Chan Aye Thar San and Mahar Aung Myay in Mandalay, a city close to the epicenter of the 7.9 magnitude quake that struck the Southeast Asian country on Friday.

The rescuers also sent an 11-person squad in the evening to assist in the search and rescue efforts with technical search and blasting tools at a building near Mandalay Palace.

On Tuesday, the SAR's rescue team and China Search and Rescue Team, assigned by the country's Ministry of Emergency Management, carried out a joint search and rescue operation at the Sky Villa residence quake site in Mandalay.
