The death toll from Typhoon Yagi’s devastation in Southeast Asia has climbed to over 500, according to the ASEAN Coordinating Center for Humanitarian Assistance.
The storm brought heavy rains, flooding, and landslides that caused widespread destruction across multiple countries.
Vietnam reported the highest number of casualties, with nearly 300 people dead. In Myanmar, 226 deaths have been confirmed, while 77 people remain missing.
Thailand has confirmed 42 fatalities, followed by 21 in the Philippines, and four in Laos.
Millions of people were affected by Typhoon Yagi, with 3.4 million displaced in Myanmar alone. Though the storm passed last week, it left behind prolonged flooding and was followed by monsoon rains, exacerbating the situation.
Efforts continue to locate missing persons, while key infrastructure, including roads, bridges, power towers, and telecom systems, were severely damaged.
Thousands of religious buildings, schools, and government offices were also destroyed.
