Typhoon Yagi has caused the deaths of at least 110 people in Myanmar.


Rescuers in Myanmar are grappling with the aftermath of Typhoon Yagi, which has caused widespread devastation and claimed the lives of at least 110 people. The storm, which also hit the Philippines, China, and Vietnam, left a trail of destruction in its wake. In Myanmar, the lack of advance warnings and ongoing conflict between the military junta and rebel forces exacerbated the impact of the storm. Communication lines are down, and persistent rain is hampering rescue efforts. The death toll is expected to rise as rescuers continue to find bodies and search for missing individuals. The situation is further complicated by the fact that many young men have joined resistance forces or fled the country, leaving women and older residents to make up the majority of the rescue teams. In neighboring Vietnam, the death toll has also been rising, with over 200 confirmed dead and many others missing. The storm's impact has been particularly devastating in Lao Cai, where a landslide wiped out an entire village. The full extent of the destruction is still unfolding, and the challenges faced by rescuers are immense.
