Myanmar’s ruling military government has announced a temporary ceasefire in operations against armed opposition groups to aid recovery efforts following Friday’s devastating earthquake that killed more than 3,

Myanmar's ruling military government declared a three-week-long unilateral cease-fire to aid the humanitarian and rebuilding effort five days after a devastating earthquake that killed more than 2,800 people.

The UN chief on Thursday called for immediate and unrestricted humanitarian access to Myanmar, where last week’s devastating earthquakes claimed over 3,000 lives and left millions in urgent need of aid.

It was unclear whether the cease-fire would be honored. It came a day after soldiers fired at a Chinese Red Cross aid convoy, and amid multiple airstrikes.

Demand all humanitarian assistance be channelled exclusively through the National Unity Government (NUG), Ethnic Organisations, the Confederation of Trade Unions Myanmar (CTUM), trusted local civil society, and community groups; entities that have clearly demonstrated commitment and capacity to deliver impartial and life-saving relief.

Myanmar's military rulers have kept journalists out since the devastating earthquake, so CBS News' partners at the BBC went undercover to reveal the scale of the disaster.
