Myanmar Flood Victims Need More Relief Aid and Food

Myanmar Flood Victims Need More Relief Aid and Food: "Residents in some of the areas in Myanmar hit the hardest by floods and mudslides triggered by recent torrential monsoon rains are in dire need of emergency aid and food while they take refuge in Buddhist monasteries and relief camps, a local government official and monks said Tuesday.

Torrential rains, which began in June, have caused severe flooding in 11 of the country’s 14 states and divisions. President Thein Sein declared the four hardest-hit states and divisions — Chin, Rakhine, Sagaing and Magway — natural disaster zones on July 31."
