The military government in Myanmar has said at least 2,000 people were killed in the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that hit last Friday. <\/p>\n

“A death toll over 10,000 is a strong possibility,” according to the US Geological Survey.<\/p>\n

The Burmese army, which has previously downplayed civilian casualties after other large natural disasters, is not allowing foreign journalists into the country. <\/p>\n

From neighbouring Thailand, BBC Verify’s Nick Beake has been building a picture of the impact of the quake in the worst affected areas that we know about. <\/p>\n
