Severe floods in Thailand affect over 2 million people, 13 dead
Severe floods caused by heavy rainfall have affected more than 2 million people across southern Thailand, leaving 13 dead, according to reports from Thailand’s Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation (DDPM).
The agency stated that the floods impacted nine southern provinces, displacing thousands of residents and inundating towns and villages. Rescue and relief operations are ongoing as the situation remains critical.
Thailand’s navy has mobilized a fleet of 14 boats, aircraft, medical teams, and relief supplies to assist the affected regions, according to local sources. The military efforts aim to reach remote and severely flooded areas where access is limited.
The floods are part of the aftermath of Typhoon Bualoi, which struck late September, affecting Thailand, the Philippines, and other Southeast Asian countries, causing casualties and widespread damage.
The monsoon season, typically spanning June to September, continues to bring heavy rains to the region, resulting in large-scale natural disasters.
Authorities and aid organizations have warned that the situation remains volatile, and thousands more could be affected if heavy rains continue.
The government is coordinating evacuation, relief, and medical operations to mitigate the impact.(ILKHA)
