Rescuers Overstretched as Floods Trap Thousands in Naypyitaw
Torrential rains lashed the administrative capital of Naypyitaw, claiming at least 19 lives and trapping thousands of residents in inundated houses. Rescue teams are overstretched, with many residents trapped on roofs and in trees for more than 24 hours.

In Naypyitaw, more than 50 villages were hit by severe flooding after water came down from mountains and dams overflowed on Wednesday and Thursday, according to locals and volunteers.

Myanmar Fire Services Dept (MFSD) on Thursday said at least 19 people died in floods in Naypyitaw, but other rescuers said the number may be higher. 10 others were reported.

Myanmar anti-coup forces target Mandalay in struggle to oust military. Trained and guided by ethnic armed groups, Myanmar’s volunteer fighting forces are challenging the generals’ grip.
Myanmar’s 2nd-biggest city is beginning to feel like a city under siege, while armed groups might be at the gates of Mandalay, most residents do not consider them as their enemy.

“I’ve lived in Singu since I was born and we’ve never seen anything like this before,” said Tun, a 47-year-old resident of a small town in the Mandalay region, roughly 80km (50 miles) north of the city. He asked to be identified by only part of his name for security reasons.

Most residents didn’t flee the town be'cos we had no experience with war. When fighting got more intense near town, we understood we couldn’t stay here.” Myanmar’s borderlands, home to many of country’s ethnic minorities, have been ravaged by conflict for decades, mostly Bamar areas in the heart of the country had not seen conflict since World War II. That all changed when military overthrew Aung San Suu Kyi’s democratically elected govt in 2021, plunging the country into a political crisis & civil war. Since then Myanmar military has suffered stunning defeats.

Myanmar Flood Death Toll Climbs to 419:
YANGON—The death toll in Myanmar in the wake of flooding and landslides sparked by Typhoon Yagi has climbed to 419, the junta said on Tuesday. Yagi swept across northern Vietnam, Laos, Thailand and Myanmar this month, triggering floods and landslides that have killed hundreds of people across the region.

The floods have heaped more misery on a country where millions were already displaced by more than three years of conflict unleashed by the military’s 2021 coup. As of Tuesday 419 people had been confirmed dead, the junta’s information team said in a statement.

Previous death toll reported was 384 dead and 89 missing. Tuesday’s update did not mention how many were still missing. Poor communication, particularly with remote areas, has also meant info about casualties has been slow to come out.
UN has warned that as many as 887,000 people have been affected in Myanmar in the aftermath of Typhoon Yagi. Severe flooding hit country in 2011 & 2015, with more than 100 deaths reported on both occasions, in 2008 Cyclone Nargis left more than 138,000 people dead or missing.
