The balance sheet of a landslide caused by the monsoon in Burma has increased to at least 51 deaths, said Sunday rescuers who continue their research. Heavy floods are also affecting several areas of the country where the army has been deployed to help with relief.
A mudslide poured into the village of Ye Pyar Kone in Mon State (southeast) on Friday, followed by floods. In addition to the Mon State, floods affect Karen and Kachin states. Some villages are still inaccessible. According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, around 89,000 people have been displaced in recent weeks, but many have been able to return home.
