So sad.
According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, 175,000 people were impacted in the wake of Tropical Cyclone Giri, which hit Myanmar on Friday with winds of 155 mph. Meteorologists have equated the storm to a super typhoon.
As of Tuesday, 70,795 people remain homeless. Severe damage has been done to infrastructure, including torn up roads and knocked down telephone poles.
At least 27 people were killed and 15 are missing.
Our thoughts are with the people of Myanmar.
