Locals in Nay Pyi Taw say that drinking and potable water is in short supply, even for those who were displaced by the earthquake and whose homes were not damaged, and that the need is still there today.
Although electricity has been restored in most neighborhoods, the water in the previously dug wells has dried up and is blocked with silt, causing difficulties in obtaining both drinking and domestic water.
Currently, water trucks are being brought from areas where water sources are available and distributed by relevant authorities and donors, but it is still not enough to cover everyone, according to a local official.
"Now that most people have electricity back, the water in the wells they use in their homes has dried up and they can't pump it out with a machine. Some wells are only producing mud. We have to pay to take a shower where there is water. We still need a lot of water for cooking and for the toilet. It's very difficult."
Some water purifiers in Nay Pyi Taw have also resumed operation, so donors are purchasing clean water and donating it to neighborhoods for drinking water.
Those affected by the earthquake are living in temporary shelters in their respective communities, in the homes of close relatives, and some are renting houses.
There are also people who are cleaning up the earthquake damage themselves, with the help of donors and charitable organizations.
Myanmar Fire Department and international relief teams are continuing to search and rescue and clear damaged buildings.
The earthquake in Nay Pyi Taw killed more than 600 people. In addition, thousands of homes and buildings collapsed, including ministries, roads and bridges, staff housing, schools and religious buildings.
