9 killed, over 90,000 households hit by flooding
Nine people were killed, two missing and 91,686 households affected across the country during the flood crisis, the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation reported.
On Wednesday, it said Nakhon Ratchasima and Suphan Buri were two provinces still dealing with the disaster, while local governments were working hard trying to solve the problems.
The department, together with local governments, have evacuated people affected by floodwater and delivered aid packages to those in need.
There is a continued draining of floodwaters from residential areas. Damages to careers, livelihoods, residences, agriculture, livestock and infrastructure will be covered by the Finance Ministry.
