Hundreds of people in Myanmar's Taungoo town shelter in a school building after fleeing their homes near the surging Sittaung River. The severe flooding was triggered by Typhoon Yagi which slammed into Vietnam at the weekend, bringing torrential rains and causing landslides across the region. "It's nothing like before," one local resident tells AFP. "The water came halfway up our house." | Mizzima - Myanmar News - English Edition
