Situation
Overview
Since late July 2026, Myanmar
has experienced severe monsoon
flooding across Sagaing,
Mandalay, Magway and
Ayeyarwady Units, plus localised
flooding in Kachin State and
northern Shan State, driven by
exceptionally heavy rainfall and
overflow/release from dams and
reservoirs along the Mu, Ngawun
and Ayeyarwady river systems.
