In South Thailand, over 600,000 households have been affected by the relentless downpours and flash floods. The lives of 12 people have tragically been lost, and thousands of residents have been forced to evacuate their homes and seek refuge in temporary shelters.

Severe floods caused by monsoon rains have killed more than 30 people and displaced tens of thousands in Malaysia and southern Thailand, with both countries preparing shelters and evacuation plans in anticipation of more heavy rain.

The death toll from severe flooding in southern Thailand has risen to 25, with six provinces remaining inundated as water levels gradually receded, the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation reported on Tuesday.
