Teachers at a Myanmar school hit by a military helicopter attack last week have spoken of the terrifying horror of the onslaught – including watching a wounded child screaming in agony, begging to die.

Friday’s violence at a school in Let Yet Kone village, Sagaing region, killed 14 people – 12 of them children, the youngest aged seven.
