ai generated text
Typhoon Yagi caused widespread destruction and flooding in northern Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar. The storm resulted in significant loss of life, with reported fatalities ranging from 226 to 236, depending on the source. The hardest hit areas in Myanmar include Mandalay, Naypyitaw, and parts of Shan state, where a third of the country's population is already in need of humanitarian aid. The number of missing persons is estimated to be around 77, with many more affected by the disaster.
Affected areas include camps for displaced people, including children, who were already struggling with limited services due to ongoing conflict.
A total of 388 relief camps were opened in nine regions and states, and the well-wishers donated drinking water, food and clothes.
There is no offer of international aid. People are in a more difficult position here because everything is blocked because of the floods and the war. So it is very difficult to reach us.
