News summary

Severe flooding in Myanmar, exacerbated by Typhoon Yagi, has resulted in 74 confirmed deaths and 89 people missing, according to state media. The floods have affected 462 villages across multiple regions, including Nay Pyi Taw and Mandalay, destroying over 65,000 homes and critical infrastructure such as bridges and schools. The humanitarian crisis is deepening as approximately one-third of the population requires aid, with many aid agencies facing access challenges due to the ongoing violence since the military coup in 2021. Rescue operations are ongoing, but reports of further casualties and landslides complicate the situation. Authorities have set up temporary relief camps to assist displaced individuals, and the junta has made a rare request for foreign aid. Conditions remain precarious with rivers still above dangerous levels, and heavy rains are expected to continue affecting the region.
