Cyclone Mocha kills hundreds in Myanmar; military junta blocks aid efforts

Cyclone Mocha struck Myanmar and Bangladesh, causing widespread damage and killing at least 145 people.
Myanmar's Rakhine state suffered the most damage, with hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees living in crowded displacement camps severely impacted.
The Myanmar military junta denied reports of higher death tolls and casualties and has blocked humanitarian aid from reaching the hardest hit areas.
The storm destroyed homes, infrastructure, and crops, leaving hundreds of thousands in urgent need of food, water, shelter, and medical care.
The international community has pledged aid, but relief efforts are stalled due to the junta restricting access and the scale of the devastation.
