There are nunneries which are unknown but suffered severe damage during the quake in Sagaing Hill and still lack public attention.

“There are barely any donors there because the lanes are very narrow and difficult to reach. So, I would like to request donors to give a little more effort to reach there,” said Maung Yahan Thathana Yingwin (Sagaing) Facebook page and mentioned the nun’s name list and contacts.

According to it, they are nunneries near Sitagu Thandi Kaya and at the foot of Ponnyashin Hill.

“22 nuns reside here. The building didn’t collapse but completely cracked including walls and entrances. A nun passed away and one has been still hospitalized. Water and food are needed,” said a nun from Gunawady nunnery, north of Wachet Hospital.

Another nun, Daw Dhammakesi from Mya Yadana nunnery located north of 10th Shweminwun lane said, it houses 55 nuns and rice and water for showering are necessary in an emergency and added that some young nuns have suffered nosebleeds due to extreme heat and half of a rice bag is just enough for two days.
