In the middle of Myanmar, at least 1,700 people were killed in the earthquake on March 27, more than 3,000 were injured and 120 were still missing.
However, humanists have warned that due to low news and uninterrupted challenges in data collection and verification, the actual numbers and the actual number of victims may be much higher.
The UN Coordination Office (OCHA), a bulletin released on Friday, said that after the initial earthquake, more than 5 vibrations were felt, some of which were even intensity up to 5.9.
These continuous vibrations shake the region, especially in children and displaced families cause psychological effects and damage to the people.
The United Nations Humanitarian Assistance Coordination Office says, “In the central region of Myanmar, almost every day there is trembling, which causes fear and uncertainty among the people.”
Also, many families are still open in the open due to fear, causing weather injuries, diseases and poisonous insects and snakes.
Disrupted attempts to shake the tremor of continuous earthquake.
Ocha feared that even after such a serious earthquake, Myanmar was located in a highly active strategic field because the vibration could last for several months.
The initial demand is not met
According to the UN agency, more than 43 million people need clean water and hygiene as the earthquake has severely damaged the water system.
More than 12,000 toilets have collapsed and there is a lot of electricity being cut, which has suspended the process of collecting and supplying water in many regions.
The loss of local water system has forced residents to rely on insecure sources, which has increased the risk of water -borne diseases.
Malnutrition is also a growing anxiety – especially in children – because food is deteriorating and providing nutrition assistance is becoming difficult.
The infrastructure of education has also done great damage. The new school year is about to begin in June, so before the students return safely, several hundred damaged class sites have to be cleaned, repaired or somewhat rebuilt.
Also, clean water, toilet and basic hygiene facilities need to be restored.
Food security shock
The earthquake happened during the dry season in Myanmar, one of the most important agricultural regions in the country. In the most affected zones, the country’s grain production and one -third of the broad corn are produced.
With the loss of agricultural land and assistant infrastructure, food production is now in danger with the arrival of the monsoon sowing.
The OHA says, “Living has been made due to the huge loss of agricultural land, necessary infrastructure and other income producing businesses.”
Stress on humanitarian assistance action
Despite the difficult situations, human agency and local assistant partners have accessed more than 2 million people, including food, treatment supplies and necessary products by April 18.
More than 100 tonnes of people have been distributed among the people and mobile health teams are now providing trauma care and mental assistance in the most affected areas.
Ocha says that despite this attempt, the scales and urgency of the disaster demand more steps, resources and access.
