Updated
A passenger boat has sank in Burma's southwest delta region, killing dozens of people.
State media reports, the boat was travelling on a river in the cyclone-hit Irrawaddy Delta when it was swamped early Tuesday morning.
A total of 44 passengers were rescued, but 38 drowned.
The incident brings further grief to a region still mourning the 138,000 dead or missing, after cyclone Nargis hit in early May.
