The death toll from floods in Myanmar has risen to 293, with 89 people still missing. The floods have affected dozens of townships in the regions and states across the country, including Nay Pyi Taw.
State media reported that over one lakh sixty-one thousand flood victims were taking shelters at 425 relief centers. The widespread flooding in the Asian country was caused by heavy rains triggered by Typhoon Yagi and a deep depression in the Bay of Bengal. Local authorities, rescue organisations, and residents are working together to clean flood-affected areas, provide healthcare, and distribute food and other essential items for the flood victims.
