6 million children in SE Asia affected by Yagi: UNICEF

Deadly floods and landslides triggered by Typhoon Yagi have affected nearly 6 million children across southeast Asia, the U.N. said on Wednesday, as the death toll from the disaster rose.

Typhoon Yagi brought powerful winds and torrential rainfall to Vietnam, Thailand, Laos and Myanmar when it swept across the region almost two weeks ago.
