At least 23 people were killed and nearly 3 million people in 25 out of
77 provinces across Thailand have been affected by floods, said the
Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department.
Heavy rains in the northern province of Phitsanulok have caused the
Yom River to overflow and inundate a vast area of farmland.
Meanwhile, flooding has forced an estimated 15,000 people in
northeastern Ubonratchathani and Si Saket provinces to evacuate.
Nearly 100,000 people in central Ayuthaya province are also living in one to two metres of deep floodwater.
The Thai Government has held many meetings with relevant agencies in
Bangkok to work out measures to respond to the inundation in
northeastern and central provinces.-VNA
