In the Asian region, continuous rains and sharply intensified floods over the past several days have led to major tragedies. According to information published by Reuters, the number of deaths in Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia has sharply increased.
Thailand: the number of victims has reached 55 people
In Thailand, 55 people have died due to floods and mudflows caused by a week of heavy rains. It is reported that in Hat Yai, the most affected city, the water level is gradually decreasing. This may speed up the delivery of aid to the population and the restoration of essential services.
The government is sending food and medical supplies by helicopters to people stranded on rooftops. Observation and rescue operations are also being carried out using drones. Authorities report that approximately 3 million people in the southern regions have been affected.
Malaysia: more than 34,000 residents evacuated
In neighboring Malaysia, continuous rainfall has also caused severe floods. Flooding has been recorded in seven states, and the death of two people has been confirmed. More than 34,000 residents have been moved to temporary shelters.
Indonesia: strong cyclone and landslides in Sumatra
On the island of Sumatra, home to 60 million people, a tropical cyclone has caused significant destruction. Due to floods, landslides and rising water, at least 100 people are considered missing.
