Bangkok floods prompt disaster alert
Heavy rains that persisted for days have flooded large areas of Bangkok, forcing thousands of residents to seek shelter in evacuation centers due to floodwaters rising above knee level in the streets. This has caused traffic disruptions and a severe shortage of food supplies. In some areas, rainfall exceeded 330 mm between Thursday and Sunday, resulting in 68 deaths and impacting over 52,000 families across the city. About 4,900 people have been evacuated, and a state of emergency has been declared. Authorities are working to speed up water drainage, while hundreds of schools remain closed. Experts warn that the continuation of rising global temperatures is increasing the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events.
