International aid has been pouring into Myanmar since a massive 7.7-magnitude earthquake on Friday left a trail of death and destruction in the impoverished, conflict-stricken country.

The death toll from the quake jumped to more than 2,800, with a further 4,639 wounded, according to Myanmar state-run television on Wednesday. The full scale of the disaster, however, still remains unclear, and the toll is likely to rise. Search and rescue operations are ongoing.

A number of countries, including India, China and Russia, have sent relief materials and teams of aid workers to assist Myanmar authorities in the rescue and relief operations.

Aid agencies say there's an urgent need for water, food, shelter, medical supplies, sanitation and other services in the quake-hit areas.
