Floods and mudslides kill more than 200 in Myanmar

The number of people in Myanmar who have died in the wake of Typhoon Yagi rose to more than 220, with nearly 80 others still missing, according to the military government.

The storm swept through northern Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar last week, killing more than 500 people across the region, according to official figures.

It triggered severe floods and mudslides in Myanmar, leaving at least 226 dead as whole villages were wrecked.

With hundreds of thousands of acres of crops destroyed, the UN also warned that more than half a million people in the war-torn country are in urgent need of food as well as drinking water, shelter and clothes. (Foreign Agencies)
