It is known from local news sources that after the rescue workers donated food to more than 100 people who were affected by the disaster in Nay Pyi Taw, Kathongone Township, Kadthoon Pew Group, and Chaok Chin Village yesterday, September 17, at around 8:00 p.m., the people who ate the food got food poisoning.

It is known that food poisoning was caused by the food donated by donors, and more than 100 people became dizzy, vomited, and had diarrhea, so they were first taken to the 100-bed Phamana Hospital, and from there to the 1000-bed Neypyi Dao Hospital.
The powerful typhoon Yagi hit northern Vietnam and China, and then hit the central Myanmar region at high speed. Due to heavy rains in Nay Pyi Taw, Khutgon and Shan State, which are controlled by the Military Council, floods occurred in those areas since September 10.

Due to the sudden rain due to the speed of the storm, mountain fall water has entered the Yam Laung River, including Nay Pyi Taw, Tatgone area’s Sin Say River and Nglai River, and out of the 8 townships, Tatgone, Pabbathiri, Zeyathiri, Phinmana and Lyway townships have been flooded.
