Typhoon Yagi, Asia's most powerful storm of the year, has devastated southern China and Southeast Asia, causing extensive flooding. After striking the Philippines, the storm moved west, heavily impacting northern Vietnam and northern Thailand. The death toll in Vietnam has reached at least 226 due to landslides and flooding, with infrastructure damage reported. Thailand has seen at least 33 fatalities, including nine in the past week. Both countries are grappling with severe flooding and landslides, complicating rescue efforts. Scientists warn that climate change is intensifying such storms, disproportionately affecting vulnerable regions.
