Typhoon Yagi’s devastating floods and landslides have impacted nearly 6 million children across Southeast Asia, according to a UN report released Wednesday. The storm, which struck Vietnam, Thailand, Laos, and Myanmar two weeks ago, has disrupted access to clean water, healthcare, education, and shelter—leaving families in survival mode. 🌧️🏚️
\"The most vulnerable children are bearing the worst consequences,\" said June Kunugi, UNICEF’s Regional Director for East Asia and the Pacific. In Vietnam alone, 3 million people risk disease outbreaks due to contaminated water and poor sanitation. 💧⚠️
UNICEF warns that recovery efforts must prioritize children’s immediate needs while rebuilding infrastructure. With monsoon season looming, the region faces a race against time. 🌏🕒
