- According to UN OCHA, some 25,000 people have been affected by flooding in Myanmar across Kachin, Rakhine, Kayah and southern Shan states. Kachin State is the worst-affected, with 17,500 people impacted, followed by Rakhine. 11,000 people have been displaced due to the flooding, with at least five people killed in Kachin State.
- It is not yet clear how much agricultural land is affected – a recent storm in Bangladesh caused significant flooding in Sagaing and Magway areas, causing serious damage to this year’s sesame and bean crops.
- DG ECHO partners are supporting those affected, including via emergency food and nutrition. Local communities are helping those affected with hot meals and clean water.
