House damage data is 11 thousand, meaning a lot of people lost their permanent homes. Reconstruction needs to be fast, don't let it drag on.

Focus on the communal kitchen, make sure the food doesn't go stale or run out of stock. Mothers and toddlers are the most vulnerable in conditions like this.

A lot of schools must be damaged. Poor kids, exams are coming up soon. Hopefully they can get emergency tents for studying.
