The death toll from the earthquake has reached nearly four thousand. It is estimated that at least ten thousand people will die, but it is fortunate that it did not happen that far. Those who survived are also in great distress. Even to clear their own houses, which have been reduced to rubble after the earthquake, costs from 150 to 500 thousand people. It costs at least several hundred thousand MMK to clear the rubble than to rebuild a house. In fact, the government should have done the work of clearing the rubble, but the military council has not done anything yet.
In addition, aftershocks continue to shake the areas along the earthquake zone. These aftershocks are also up to magnitude five, so it is not safe for the remaining buildings. Today, some buildings in Mandalay collapsed due to heavy rain. Therefore, even if almost all of their houses are intact, no one dares to stay in their homes. In this way, earthquake victims could be stranded for years in the immediate vicinity, with no permanent place to live.
