Who Won the U.S. Presidential Debate?

More than 235,000 people have been forced from their homes after floods and landslides caused by Typhoon Yagi.

Myanmar’s military chief has made a rare request for foreign aid, state media reported, to cope with deadly floods that have displaced hundreds of thousands of people who have already endured three years of civil war.

Floods and landslides caused by torrential rains brought by Typhoon Yagi, one of the deadliest storms to hit Asia this year, have killed at least 33 people, the government said, adding that more than 235,000 people have been forced from their homes.

“Officials from the government need to contact foreign countries to receive rescue and relief aid to be provided to the victims,” army chief Senior General Min Aung Hlaing said, the state-owned Global New Light of Myanmar newspaper reported on Saturday.

“It is necessary to manage rescue, relief and rehabilitation measures as quickly as possible,” he was quoted as saying as he was overseeing rescue and relief work.
