Naipyidó, May 15 (RHC)-- In Burma, at least six people were reported dead after a powerful cyclone made landfall Sunday.  Cyclone Mocha is one of the most powerful storms to hit the region. 

Burma is also known as Myanmar, officially the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, a country in Southeast Asia.

Several hundred Rohingya refugee shelters were torn apart, while the capital of the northwestern Rakhine state was almost completely destroyed.  Power and communication lines have been disrupted, with aid workers struggling to reach areas in need. 

The cyclone also triggered massive floods and landslides in neighboring Bangladesh.
