Typhoon Yagi, the most powerful storm to hit Asia this year, killed at least 226 people in Myanmar and affected more than half a million more, adding another strain to the war-torn nation's already limited resources.
The extent of Typhoon Yagi's impact has prompted junta chief Min Aung Hlaing to make a rare request for foreign aid, stating officials from the government need to contact foreign countries to receive rescue and relief aid.
In neighboring Thailand, heavy rains across some of its flood-ravaged provinces will likely continue over the next four days, contributing to the ongoing disaster response efforts.
Yagi also left a trail of destruction in Vietnam, causing over 350 deaths and $1.6 billion in damage, underlining how global warming is intensifying tropical cyclone effects.
