Sagaing Quake Victims Still Lack Water Access

Sagaing communities hit by Myanmar’s March 28 earthquake say they still need humanitarian aid as junta raids and damaged roads deter relief operations.

Little relief has reached the two villages near Yay Khar Inn lake at the quake’s epicenter – around 9km from Sagaing city – which are affected by armed conflict that deters relief operations.

Residents are going hungry and struggling to remove collapsed buildings as nearby junta raids discourage community groups from delivering aid to the two remote villages via damaged roads.
