Death Toll Rises to 74 in Myanmar Floods
News summary

The death toll from Typhoon Yagi's flooding in Myanmar has risen to at least 74, with 89 people reported missing. The severe weather has displaced over 240,000 individuals and destroyed more than 65,000 homes, severely impacting agricultural areas, particularly around the capital Naypyidaw. The disaster has also claimed nearly 350 lives across Myanmar, Vietnam, Laos, and Thailand, as heavy rains and landslides continue to wreak havoc. Rescue operations are ongoing, but difficulties in communication and infrastructure damage have complicated efforts to assess the full extent of the disaster. In a rare move, Myanmar's military junta has requested international humanitarian aid, a stark contrast to its previous reluctance to allow foreign assistance. The situation remains dire as authorities warn of ongoing heavy rains in the region.
