Severe floods in Myanmar have caused significant devastation with a death toll of 419 as of Tuesday morning, according to the State Administration Council.
Over 140,000 people were affected by the floods, which have devastated over 750,000 acres of paddy fields and killed over 100,000 animals.
Additionally, the floods have destroyed 253 religious buildings, 926 roads and bridges, lamp posts and communication towers.
In response, Myanmar authorities have allocated 30 billion kyats (about 14.2 million U.S. dollars) for rescue operations and rehabilitation efforts.
