Landslides in Chin State -- south of Sagaing -- have destroyed 700 homes in the state capital Haka, while more than 5,000 people in another district are in relief camps, the state-backed Global New Light of Myanmar reported on Monday.
President Thein Sein has promised the government will do its "utmost" to provide relief, but said parts of Chin State had been "cut off from surrounding areas", the report added.
Myanmar's Health Ministry says it is distributing medical supplies across the country including chlorine tablets, although it was unclear how it will reach many of the afflicted zones, with boats and helicopters in short supply.
