B ANGKOK — The death toll from the massive earthquake that hit Myanmar nearly a week ago rose Thursday to 3,085 as search and rescue teams found more bodies, the military-led government said, and humanitarian aid groups scrambled to provide survivors medical care and shelter.

The death toll from last week's 7.7 magnitude earthquake in Myanmar rose to 3,085 people as of Thursday morning, according to the country's military government.

Remarkable rescue stories from Myanmar's earthquake ruins are keeping hope alive, but aid agencies say time is running out fast, and the need for help is vast.

For most of the day, the mood was somber among relatives of dozens of workers missing at the site where a multi-story building collapsed in Bangkok. A volunteer group with sniffer dogs took time away from its grim task of searching the rubble to bring the animals on a visit top help lift their spirit.

More than 3,000 people have died from the 7.7 magnitude earthquake that struck Burma last week, which has sent the country into a deeper humanitarian crisis.

The UK's Disasters Emergency Committee (DEC) is launching an appeal to help the thousands of people injured and displaced as a result of last week's powerful earthquake which struck Myanmar and the wider region.

Rescue crews in Myanmar pulled a 26-year-old man out alive from the rubble of the capital city hotel where he worked early on Wednesday, but most teams were finding only bodies five days after a massive earthquake hit the country.

Sahara, Safari, Lek, Lilly and Naree are among the rescue dogs working at the site of the building that collapsed in Bangkok following Friday's earthquake. They are part of a non-profit that works closely with the Thai government in disaster and humanitarian relief efforts.

Rescuers pulled two men alive from the ruins of a hotel in Myanmar's capital on Wednesday and a third from a guesthouse in another city, five days after a 7.7 magnitude earthquake.
