More than 6 lakh people have been affected by the floods. Due to communication problems in civil war-torn Myanmar, it is slow to ascertain the number of casualties. According to the ASEAN Humanitarian Assistance Coordination Center, Typhoon Yagi first affected Vietnam, northern Thailand and Laos. About 300 people died in Vietnam, 42 in Thailand and four in Laos.
