Inle Lake Toilet Shortage Causes Diarrhoea Outbreak

Lelthit 3 Village, an earthquake affected village close to Inle Lake in Nyaungshwe Township, southern Shan State, is facing an increasing number of diarrhoea cases.

The powerful 7.7-magnitude 28 March 2025 earthquake with its epicentre close to Mandalay City also hit the Inle Lake area hard. It destroyed many houses and caused a widespread shortage of toilets.
