#Myanmar# Myanamr Earthquake# Myanmar Debris
At least two and a half million tonnes of debris, roughly 125,000 truckloads, must be removed in Myanmar following the strong earthquake that rocked the nation last month, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) said on Tuesday.
The new data from the UNDP, generated through remote sensing analysis, highlights the extensive destruction caused by the recent magnitude 7.7 earthquake and underscores the urgent need for large-scale debris removal and repairs and reconstruction of critical infrastructure and homes as part of the ongoing recovery efforts.
Additionally, more than 10,000 homes and public service buildings may have been significantly damaged or destroyed, while 128 health facilities were exposed to severe or violent tremors, with high likelihood of significant damage or destruction as a result.
