Today marks exactly two months since the Sagaing earthquake. How much has Mandalay changed after two months?
Due to lack of machinery and financial difficulties, the buildings that collapsed due to the earthquake are still being cleared for two months. It would cost hundreds of thousands of kyats to demolish a single house, so the families of the victims are struggling. Not to mention rebuilding, it would cost more than a hundred thousand to clear the rubble, so they are looking for more.
The bodies of those who died in the earthquake have not been recovered. Only this morning, three female bodies were recovered from under Sky Villa Building (B). In addition, houses and trees collapsed due to the aftershocks and heavy rains, and there have been deaths, causing concern among the residents of Mandalay.
At this time, there has been no donation from the military council. Although the military council has received a lot of international donations, it has been unable to support it and has been unable to provide assistance to Nay Pyi Taw, where many members of the military regime live. Only Meiktila is given priority. More than 2 months after the earthquake, Mandalay is still struggling with its wounds.
