Friday's shallow 7.7-magnitude quake destroyed dozens of buildings in Mandalay, the country's cultural capital and home to more than 1.7 million people.
Among the worst-hit buildings in the city is the Sky Villa Condominium development, where more than 90 people are feared to be trapped.
A woman's body stuck out of the wreckage, her arm and hair hanging down.
Scattered around were the remains of people's lives -- a child's plastic bunny toy, pieces of furniture and a picture of the New York skyline.
Elsewhere, rescuers in flip-flops and minimal protective equipment picked by hand over the remains of buildings, shouting into the rubble in the hope of hearing the answering cry of a survivor.
Carrying bodies by truck
After more than 24 hours of desperate searching, many are exhausted and desperate for relief.
“We have enough manpower but we don’t have enough cars. We are transporting dead bodies using light trucks. About 10-20 bodies in one light truck.”
More than 1,000 deaths have been confirmed already, with nearly 2,400 injured, and with the scale of the disaster only beginning to emerge, the toll is likely to rise significantly.
“My family members are safe, but other people were affected. I feel so sorry for them. I feel very sad to see this kind of situation.”
In an indication of the potential enormity of the crisis, the junta has issued an exceptionally rare call for international aid.
“We need aid. We don’t have enough of anything,“ resident Thar Aye, 68, told AFP.
“I feel so sad to see this tragic situation. I’ve never experienced anything like this before.”
