Amidst all the death and damage caused by the earthquake in Myanmar, the UN said they have had reports the military government is still launching air strikes on rebel-held areas.
More than 1,000 are now known to have died in Myanmar and thousands more injured after a 7.7-magnitude earthquake struck central Myanmar on Friday.
