In neighboring Myanmar, officials declared that four western regions were disaster areas, after the big flood killed at least 27 people. The constant rain in recent weeks has caused flooding and landslides in most parts of Myanmar.

BBC quoted Mg Mg Khin, the leader of Myanmar's Red Cross disaster management, said the country is facing " a great disaster" and that rain is likely to continue to fall in the coming weeks.

About 150,000 houses and fields were damaged, while the people were trapped in remote villages, losing their livelihood.
