Myanmar Monsoon Floods Displace Thousands, Destroy Crops

Villages and paddy fields have been submerged by intense monsoon floods in Myanmar. AFP's correspondent there and the United Nations have reported that the floods have forced Myanmar nationals, already displaced by war, to abandon their homes.

'The suffering we are experiencing is so painful that I cannot even express it in words,' said 53-year-old villager Cho Myint, from Wetlet town in the central Sagaing region.
