YANGON, Myanmar — The death toll from heavy flooding and landslides last week rose to 63 as relief efforts continued in northwestern Myanmar, state media reported Monday. Torrential rains triggered floods and mudslides that washed away homes, destroyed schools and damaged bridges in Rakhine state. More than 2,000 people were forced to flee the region. The military was providing aid to victims and local authorities were inspecting recovery efforts in the state's seriously hit Buthidaung and Maungdaw regions, the New Light of Myanmar newspaper said. Myanmar's military government, the United Nations and other humanitarian organizations rushed food, clothing, medicine, and cash to the area, state media and a U.N.
