In this August 7, 2015, file photo, a boy swimming in water receives foods from private donors near half-submerged residences in Nyaung Tone, in the Irrawaddy Delta, southwest of Yangon, Myanmar. Myanmar says the number of people affected by flooding nationwide is approaching 1 million, with waters in the low-lying southwestern region inundating homes and forcing villagers into temporary shelters. Volunteers on small boats were ferrying noodles, rice and clean water door-to-door. Ferocious monsoon rains that began in late June – compounded more recently by Cyclone Komen – have triggered some of the worst flash floods and landslides in recent memory.
