(MANDALAY CITY, MYANMAR) — A 63-year-old woman was pulled alive from under the rubble Tuesday about 91 hours after Myanmar was struck by a devastating, 7.7 magnitude earthquake, the Myanmar Fire Services Department said on social media.

At least 2,719 people have been confirmed dead in the aftermath of Friday’s massive earthquake in Myanmar, a government official reportedly told local media on Tuesday.

Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, the leader of the country’s military junta, also said during a televised broadcast that another 4,521 people were injured, according to The Associated Press and Reuters.

“Among the missing, most are assumed to be dead,” he said on state television. “There is a narrow chance for them to remain alive as it has been over 72 hours.”

Rescues efforts were still underway on Tuesday, according to the Myanmar Fire Services Department.

With many areas hit by Friday’s earthquake still not reached by rescue crews, the number of people injured or dead is still expected to rise.

The epicenter of the earthquake was in Mandalay, Myanmar, the country’s second-largest city. Even Bangkok, some 600 miles away, felt widespread shaking and saw significant damage from the quake — including the total collapse of a skyscraper under construction. More than a dozen people were killed in the collapse, officials said, with recovery efforts for the construction workers still ongoing.

The International Rescue Committee, an aid group, has reported “staggering humanitarian needs on the ground.”

“People require urgent medical care, clean drinking water, tents, food and other basic necessities,” the IRC said in a statement.

The IRC said it may be weeks before the full extent of the destruction is understood.

Ciarán Donnelly, senior vice president of international programs at the IRC, told ABC News Live that teams are dealing with an “unimaginably horrendous situation on the ground,” with 80% of buildings destroyed in some towns.

“The challenges are immense. You’ve got infrastructure that’s been destroyed, airports and roads that have been damaged, supply chains disrupted,” Donnelly said.

After the U.S. State Department said Monday that it was “in the process” of sending disaster relief experts to Myanmar, a leading aid group said in a statement to ABC News on Tuesday that the U.S. has already “missed the first urgent window to help find survivors.”

“With USAID effectively gutted and critical staff receiving their final notices in the midst of an emergency, the US Government’s ability to respond to the humanitarian crisis in Myanmar and future crises is severely compromised. Speed, collaboration, and resources are life and death matters when disaster strikes. The illegal decision to dismantle USAID means the U.S. will be unable to show up like it has in past emergencies,” said Abby Maxman, president and CEO of Oxfam America.

“The U.S. has already missed the first urgent window to help find survivors. The second wave of crisis is the millions of people displaced who will soon face threats of disease, hunger, and more without access to clean water, food, shelter and other resources. The Trump administration must step up and continue the U.S. legacy of providing partnership and leadership right now for the communities who need urgent support,” Maxman said.
