Thousands of people across Myanmar and Thailand are feared dead after powerful earthquakes resulted in the collapse of buildings and bridges.

Search efforts are under way in both countries as rescuers dig through rubble to find survivors following the devastating impact.

Officials have confirmed more than 150 people have been killed in Myanmar and Thailand but experts say the power and scale of the tremors mean the death toll could reach thousands.

The initial earthquake of 7.7 magnitude struck in central Myanmar around 1:30pm local time on Friday (6:30am UK time) before another quake measuring 6.4 followed 12 minutes later.
