Rescuers in Myanmar's capital Nay Pyi Taw successfully rescued a 63-year-old woman this morning, after 91 hours buried under the rubble.
However, hopes of finding more survivors are slim as the death toll continues to rise rapidly.
According to the Myanmar Fire Department, the 7.7-magnitude earthquake on March 28, with its epicenter near Mandalay - the country's second largest city - has killed at least 2,719 people, injured more than 4,520 people and left more than 400 people missing.
The death toll is expected to continue to rise as many areas are isolated, power outages, telecommunications and transport disruptions have hampered relief efforts.
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that more than 10,000 buildings in central and northwestern Myanmar have collapsed or been severely damaged.
Most of the damage information has been recorded mainly in Mandalay and Nay Pyi Taw, while the true extent of devastation in remote areas remains uncertain.
The earthquake also affected neighboring Thailand, collapsing a high-rise building under construction in Bangkok, killing 20 people and injuring 34.
Rescuers have found two bodies, with dozens of workers still missing under the rubble.
