BANGKOK (AP) — Rescue workers have saved a 63-year-old woman from earthquake rubble in Myanmar’s capital. But hope is fading of finding many more survivors. The earthquake that rocked the country Friday is compounding the humanitarian crisis caused by a bloody civil war. The Myanmar fire department in Naypyitaw said the woman was successfully pulled from the rubble early Tuesday about 91 hours after she was buried when the building collapsed. The military-run government has reported more than 2.700 deaths. But the death toll is expected to rise. The earthquake also killed more than 20 people in neighboring Thailand.
