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.

Since early this week, Myanmar has seen heavy rains and flash floods triggered by Typhoon Yagi that made landfall in Vietnam. 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.
