YANGON: Myanmar's military junta let a truce declared to spur aid efforts after last month's earthquake expire on Thursday (May 1), a ceasefire that monitors say it consistently violated with air strikes.

The March 28 magnitude-7.7 quake in Myanmar's central belt killed nearly 3,800 and has left tens of thousands homeless as the summer monsoon season approaches.
