Remote and inner areas of earthquake-hit Sagaing still in urgent need of aid

It has been reported that remote and inner areas of earthquake-affected Sagaing city remain in urgent need of donations and humanitarian assistance.

“Sagaing has suffered significant damage. Since the affected areas are widespread, some communities are not receiving donations,” explained a representative from the Hinthada District Social Support Network. “Because we coordinated early with residents, we were able to reach the areas in need. But most donations are only reaching visible and accessible places. Some people have lost limbs and are in difficult conditions. Many have lost their homes and are now homeless. Some have lost their spouses and family members, leaving only dependents who need help. It’s clear that the inner and fringe areas of the city are most in need. Monks and nuns in these areas are also facing hardships.”

A local caretaker named U Zing, who is supporting monks at Chan Myae San Thila Monastic School in Parami Ward, shared: “Schools and connected institutions in more accessible locations are receiving most of the aid. But everything is damaged. Some teachers have passed away. Due to poor communication and difficult road access, few donors are able to reach us. Many teachers have moved to Taung Phila for safety, so the connection to this area is weak. Some remain at the school, but donors mostly visit city-center schools visible from the road. That’s why our area is rarely reached unless someone guides the donors.”

The powerful earthquake caused severe destruction and loss of life in the Sagaing region, and aftershocks continue to be felt, further complicating rescue and recovery efforts.
