Heavy rains have caused serious flooding in Myanmar. More than 32,000 people need help after heavy rainfall over the last two weeks. The rain breached river embankments. The water inundated many villages in the southwestern part of the country. The United Nations is now sending emergency food to the area. Workers have already delivered 20 tons of fortified biscuits. They gave them to 10,000 people who lost their homes and food.
Myanmar faces many problems right now. A civil war and high food prices mean 12.4 million people are already hungry. The new floods make things worse. A UN official said the floods hit communities already struggling. The UN is asking for more money to help people survive.
