Widespread floods displace large number of people in southern Myanmar

The water level of rivers in 13 towns across the four regions and states of Ayeyarwady, Bago, Mon, and Kayin in southern Myanmar has already surpassed their warning marks. 18,210 people from 4,793 households were evacuated in Bago and 4,985 from 370 households in Myawaddy. Railway tracks and highways in Ayeyarwady and Mon have been submerged, posing risks to travellers, while schools have been closed due to the floods.
