Myanmar's toll from Yagi rises past 200 with tallying hindered by civil war

Quick Summary:

Floods and landslides in Myanmar triggered by last week's Typhoon Yagi and seasonal monsoon rains have claimed at least 226 lives, with 77 people missing, state-run media reported Tuesday.

The death toll, reported in the state-run Myanma Alinn, was almost seven times Friday's initial total of 33, with strong prospects of it continuing to rise.

The counting of casualties has been slow, in part due to communication difficulties with the affected areas as Myanmar is wracked by civil war.
