Typhoon Yagi LIVE: Myanmar Floods Death Toll Rises to 226; Casualties in Southeast Asia Cross 500 Floods in Myanmar have killed at least 226 people in just over a week, state media MRTV reported on Tuesday (September 17), after heavy rains brought on by Typhoon Yagi battered the central provinces of the war-torn Southeast Asian country. Aerial footage broadcast by MRTV showed floodwater inundating large areas of land around capital Naypyitaw, one of the hardest-hit areas. The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) also said many flood-hit regions were difficult to reach as several roads were damaged and telecoms and electricity networks disrupted. Typhoon Yagi, the strongest storm to hit Asia this year, has left a trail of devastation through parts of Southeast Asia, killing at least 292 people in Vietnam where it made landfall. --- Typhoon Yagi | Myanmar | Floods | Southeast Asia | Firstpost | News Live | World News | Latest News | Global News | International News | News | Trending
