Per AI Express, on the 8th local time, the United Nations Development Programme warned that in the earthquake-stricken areas of Myanmar, people are worried about building collapse and sleeping on the streets, facing the risk of contracting waterborne diseases.
聯合國開發計劃署駐緬甸代表蒂通·米特拉表示,救災工作已從救援轉向恢復工作,當地衛生系統已經不堪重負。醫院無法應對大量患者,藥品和保健用品極其短缺。據聯合國人道主義事務協調廳數據,緬甸超過50萬人無法獲得醫療服務。
The risk of waterborne diseases is very high due to ruptured urban water supply systems and damaged water storage facilities. Heavy rainfall has affected relief efforts, and the Myanmar Meteorological Department predicts that there will be rain and strong winds in most areas in the future. (CCTV News)
