Flood disaster: Over 100 dead in southern Thailand and neighboring countries!

Nature is raging in Southeast Asia and the situation is anything but rosy. Current floods have claimed numerous lives, and Thailand has not been spared. In recent days there have been devastating torrential rains that have swept the region and claimed over 100 lives in Southeast Asia. In Thailand alone, 33 people have died so far br.de reported.

The floods hit Songkhla province particularly hard, particularly the city of Hat Yai. According to reports from n-tv A total of almost 2.8 million people are affected by the floodwaters. Authorities are urging people to evacuate as food supplies are already running low in many areas. That's not all: in nine of the 14 southern provinces there is extensive flooding, the roads are impassable and dozens of people have been injured.

Crisis management and rescue operations

The Thai military has launched extensive rescue operations to help trapped residents. More than 465,000 people in Songkhla were hit harder, with more than half of them living in Hat Yai. However, carrying out these operations is difficult because many residents can only be reached by boat. rnd.de confirms that hospital operations in Hat Yai are currently at risk and there is a risk of power outages. Around 50 ventilated patients have already been taken to other hospitals in military helicopters.

The rains are due to two weather systems, including Tropical Cyclone Koto, which have been bombarding the region with extreme rainfall for days. However, local weather authorities offer hope: it is expected that the rain could ease by Monday. But many remain skeptical as the water level could rise further due to the ongoing rainfall.

International dimension

As Thailand grapples with this disaster, neighboring countries are also affected. In Malaysia, more than 10,000 people have fled to temporary shelters due to flooding. Especially, 열십지 당장리버벨이 관여가들적소립조차도 육기든명반에 대한이 감게하져 한국사적 재정입니다.

The situation in Indonesian provinces such as North Sumatra is similarly dire, with at least eight confirmed deaths. Here too, landslides and damaged infrastructure are an ongoing problem: roads are blocked and bridges have collapsed. It remains to be seen how quickly the situation can stabilize as people in these vulnerable areas hope for help.

In summary, the situation in Southeast Asia is serious. The coming days could be crucial for those affected as nature continues to demonstrate its power. Whether and when normality will return is currently uncertain.
