So far, the strong earthquake in central Myanmar has killed 370 people, injured more than 0 people, and more than 0 people are missing. Sagaing City, Sagaing Province, was one of the hardest hit by the earthquake, with a large number of buildings collapsing and supplies scarce.

Reporter Liu Chang: In Sagaing Province, which was the hardest hit by the earthquake in Myanmar, the earthquake caused serious damage or complete collapse of houses in the entire city, leaving many residents homeless. To this day, many cities are still without water and electricity, and supplies are extremely scarce.

In Sagaing City, houses that are heavily tilted, sunk in one piece, or completely collapsed are common. Due to the lack of a professional rescue team, people can only use limited means to dig and search, but many people are still buried under the rubble. Hospital wards were damaged and aftershocks continued, forcing doctors to move their beds outside, and many families had to spend the night outside.

At present, the whole city is without electricity and network, and there is an extreme shortage of food, water, medicine and other materials, some businesses have taken the initiative to provide free charging services to the people, and many volunteers have distributed food to the victims, and there are long queues in front of each distribution office.

  聯合國兒童基金會4月1日表示,現在緬甸很多地區都像實皆市這樣缺乏供電以及基本生活物資,災民的生存狀況不容樂觀。加上正值夏季,天氣炎熱,在這種條件下,未來一段時間當地可能會有傳染病暴發的風險。
