Typhoon Yagi Causes Widespread Flooding in Myanmar
News summary

Typhoon Yagi has devastated Myanmar, resulting in at least 226 confirmed deaths and around 77 people missing, according to state media. The storm, which has affected over 630,000 individuals, triggered severe floods and mudslides that have destroyed vast agricultural land and homes across several regions, including the capital Naypyidaw and Mandalay. The death toll is expected to rise as communication difficulties hinder accurate reporting amidst the ongoing civil war. The storm has also impacted neighboring countries, claiming nearly 300 lives in Vietnam, 42 in Thailand, and four in Laos. International aid, including 10 tonnes of supplies from India, is being dispatched to assist relief efforts, which are complicated by the ongoing conflict. Experts warn that climate change is increasing the frequency and severity of such extreme weather events in Southeast Asia.
