Yangon, Aug 11 (TIWN) The death toll from a monsoon landslide rose to 51 in Myanmar's Mon state, said latest figures released by Myanmar Fire Services Department on Sunday.
Every year monsoon rains hammer Myanmar and other countries across Southeast Asia, submerging homes, displacing thousands and triggering landslides. But the disaster Friday in southeastern Mon state was the worst in recent memory and hundreds of emergency response workers were still pulling bodies out of the muddy wreckage early Sunday.
