Officials in Myanmar say 46 people have died in several days of flooding and landslides. The Ministry of Relief and Resettlement said Monday that the disaster had affected about 200,000 people in northern and western Myanmar. The government, military and aid groups are working to help them.

Opposition leader Aung San Suu Kyi visited one of the areas hit by flooding on Monday. President Thein Sein traveled to an area in northern Myanmar on Saturday. It is one of four areas where the president has declared a state of emergency.

Weeks of heavy rains and a cyclone last week caused the flooding and landslides. The western part of the country has been hit the hardest.
