Floods and landslides block Rakhine roads

Passengers are being blocked on the Yangon-Sittwe road by flooding and landslides in Rakhine State.

“We left Ann for Kyauktaw Township on July 5. Floodwater rose and it now reaches our waist. It is not going down and it is still raining. We went to Ohntechaung Bridge by boat for a meal. More than 100 passengers are blocked in Ann Township,” said Kyaw Swe.

Rain caused landslides in Yoe and Kazukai and is flooding Minbya, Mrauk U, Kyauktaw and Ponnagyun. (Courtesy of elevenmyanmar.com)
