What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Heavy rains began in southern Myanmar on September 25, part of an intense weather system that also affected neighboring Thailand and flooded Bangkok over the weekend. Rescuers in Myanmar's Tanintharyi region fear a death toll between seven and 10 people, with 20 to 30 missing. The authorities have not released an official casualty count. Aid efforts are complicated by the civil war in Myanmar and aid cutbacks following decisions by Donald Trump.
