Highlights
Massive floods and strong winds have affected more than 259,000 people across 12 states and regions.
On 4 August, the Government of Myanmar welcomed international assistance for the flood response.
Floods have inundated more than 1 million acres of farmland. Damage to crops and arable land is likely to disrupt the planting season.
Priority needs include food, water and sanitation, access to health care, and provision or repair of shelter.
Continued rainfall, combined with flood waters moving southward, put additional areas at risk of inundation.
