今年第11號颱風「摩羯」日前登陸東南亞並帶來暴雨與嚴重災情,包括越南、泰國北部及寮國有超過260人死亡,緬甸也有至少74人喪生,堪稱是今年襲擊亞洲地區的最強颱風。
根據緬甸國家電視台14日引述緬甸軍政府的數據報導,摩羯颱風造成當地洪水及土石流災情,緬甸中部曼德勒省(Mandalay)、勃固省(Bago)、東部撣邦(Shan State)和首都奈比多(Naypyitaw)的低窪地區自本月11日以來便遭洪水淹沒。
緬甸嚴重的洪災迄今已導致緬甸至少74人喪生、89人失蹤,數字較13日公布的33人大幅增加,但由於災區情況尚不穩定,因此傷亡人數恐將繼續攀升。
由於災情嚴重,緬甸軍政府領導人敏昂萊(Min Aung Hlaing)罕見請求外國協助救援。
Several sources have confirmed that there are at least 700 villagers have gone missing, with fear that everyone died after two third of their village have been submerged by the unprecedented flooding in Yamethin village located in Mandalay region of central Myanmar.
