So.. How many Burmese people were killed from the earthquake?

There was an earthquake that took place in the Northeastern part of Burma that had the magnitude of 6.8. Fortunately, one of my Burmese friends' relatives and families are safe now. 

It has been about one month after the earthquake. So far, there are many assuming about victims in Burma. Times news has published that there are at least 120 people were died. However, BBC news says, at least 72 people were killed.

Even each media has different surveys. No one knows clearly how many people were killed by the earthquake yet. The reason is that the Burmese government never declared how many people were killed. Why doesn't the Burmese government announce the situation in Burma after earthquake? And if there are lots of people who died, it should state its position.
