According to local sources, Natmauk Township in Magway Region experienced its worst flooding in six decades due to heavy downpours and the collapse of a dam.
Flooding affected low-lying areas along the creek, including Natmauk town wards, Lay Ein Village, and Maezalipin Village. In particular, the collapse of the Aung Pan Kyun Dam near Maezalipin Village caused two houses along the creek to be swept away at around 2:00 AM on September 28, resulting in the deaths of six family members, according to Venerable Ashin Gandhama of Maezalipin Village Monastery.
Almost the entire population of Natmauk’s Zay Ward, Aung San Ward, Kan Gyi Ward, and Yan Aung Myin Ward are reported to be submerged under water.
Flooding has damaged paddy fields, sesame, cotton, sunflower, and bean plantations. With heavy rainfall now entering its fourth consecutive day, the dam collapse and overflowing creeks have made the situation increasingly severe.
