FAMILY members of two Myanmar Chinese women went down on their knees, emotionally thanking Xiamen Blue Sky rescue team members, after the bodies of their loved ones were recovered from the rubble of an apartment in Myanmar, Oriental Daily reported.

The Chinese rescue personnel then handed over jade and jewellery found with the earthquake victims’ bodies back to their families.
