Loss of lives and livelihoods: Myanmar residents pick up the pieces after Typhoon Yagi

NAYPYIDAW, Myanmar: The people of Myanmar are picking up the items after Typhoon Yagi ravaged the country and left more than 200 individuals dead, according to official statistics.

More than a year ago, Yagi, Asia’s most powerful storm this year, swept across northeastern Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, and Myanmar, causing floods and landslides, with strong winds and a lot of rain.

An estimated 631, 000 people have been impacted by flooding in Myanmar, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs ( UNOCHA ) disaster response agency.
