More than 400 feared dead after Cyclone Mocha hit Myanmar’s Rakhine state

More than 400 Rohingya refugees in Myanmar’s Rakhine state were probably killed by Cyclone Mocha, the country’s parallel National Unity Government and local aid workers told RFA Tuesday. The NUG said the figure was based on estimates of the damage, since search and rescue teams have not retrieved the bodies and many victims are still missing. The figure has not been independently verified by RFA. The majority of victims were staying in refugee camps described as ‘open-roof prisons.’
