Temporary tents were being built around the Mandalay Moat for earthquake-affected people. Construction had started on April 1 for temporary shelters on the southern and western sides of the Mandalay Moat. Construction will continue around the rest of the moat.
The sun-heat eases because of temporary tents, said Daw Hla Hla Win, a temporary refugee on the western side of the Mandalay Moat.
The Central Region Military Command is reportedly constructing tents to provide shelter and relief from the sun-heat for earthquake-affected people seeking refuge around the Mandalay moat.
Daw Zarni Win, a temporary refugee on the western side of the Mandalay Moat, said that they have been seeking temporary shelter since the earthquake began, and that the shelters have made things a little easier.
Most of the people seeking temporary shelter around the Mandalay Moat are from the nearby wards that were most affected by the earthquake.
