Myanmar's death toll rises as Cyclone Mocha's impact frustrates recovery efforts

The death toll in Myanmar from Cyclone Mocha has officially risen to 145 as suggestions are saying it could be upwards of 400.

The country's military government has quashed the suggestions despite many people remaining unaccounted for as recovery efforts slow due to communication difficulties in the affected areas.

The Category Five System is being described as one of the strongest storms from the region in the past decade.
