On an island in the delta, flood-affected locals speak of daily struggles
On Ye Lar Island in the Irrawaddy delta, people shelter in their flood-damaged homes, hoping for the waters that surround them to recede so they can begin to rebuild their lives.
Many have lost farmland and almost every one of the 500 homes on the island in Irrawaddy Division’s Kyangin Township has been affected by flooding.
