More than 1,400 people have been killed in cyclonic storms and floods that devastated several countries in Southeast Asia last month, disasters that experts say are a result of extreme weather magnified by human greed.
More than 780 people died in Indonesia, 465 in Sri Lanka, and 185 in Thailand, with three deaths confirmed in Malaysia, according to officials. More than 1,000 people are still unaccounted for. Millions have been affected, with villages cut off for days after roads, bridges and power lines were swept away, forcing tens of thousands into emergency shelters.
