> More than 14,000 villagers in Myanmar’s Ayeyarwady region are dealing with the consequences of severe weather. A breached embankment in Lemyethna township caused major flooding last week. Ongoing clashes, a fuel crisis and destroyed crops are worsening the hardship for communities. The conditions are also raising concerns about public safety and food security.
