Diarrhoea and Skin Problems Afflict Inle Lake Earthquake Survivors

Cases of diarrhoea and skin disease are surging in the Inle Lake area of southern Shan State, following the 28 March 2025 earthquake.

Since the second week of April, residents of the Inle Lake area have been suffering from diarrhoea and skin disease due to unclean water as well as suffering illness due to the weather changing as the seasons change, according to a 30-year-old woman who had already suffered from a bout of diarrhoea.
