Severe flooding in Malaysia and Thailand has led to the evacuation of over 122,000 people, with at least eight fatalities reported. In Malaysia’s northern states, particularly Kelantan, relentless rains have caused significant displacement, surpassing the numbers seen in 2014’s devastating floods. Disaster agencies are mobilizing resources as fears of rising water levels loom.
In Thailand, the situation is similarly dire, with nine deaths linked to the floods and over 13,000 people displaced.
