Recovered bodies of the victims of a landslide are shrouded in green plastic sheets at a jade mining area of Hpakant, Kachin state, Myanmar on Tuesday, Aug. 15, 2023. – The bodies of 33 people have been recovered from a landslide at a jade mine in northern Myanmar and rescuers are searching for at least three people believed to be missing, a rescue official said Wednesday.
A miner who lost two relatives said local authorities provided about 700,000 kyats per victim as a contribution toward the cost of funerals. They scavenge for bits of jade and usually work and live in abandoned mining pits at the base of the mounds, which become particularly unstable during the rainy season.
