Torrential monsoon rains have paralyzed life across multiple areas in southern Thailand, leading to river overflow and substantial damage to settlements and farmlands. Evacuation operations, aided by boats, are underway in flood-affected Yala and Narathiwat provinces. An emergency disaster center has been established to aid displaced locals.
The Department of Disaster Prevention reports widespread impact, with 19,624 houses in 24 districts and 384 villages across five states affected by the deluge. The forecast predicts continued rainfall for the next 48 hours, prompting a call for citizens to stay prepared for potential evacuation orders.
