The southern Asian region is facing some of the worst floods in recent years, with at least 600 fatalities reported. Millions of people have been affected across several countries including Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Sri Lanka.
Heavy and prolonged rainfall has led to widespread flooding and landslides, devastating communities and causing massive displacement. In Indonesia, flooding has submerged entire villages, while Malaysia and Thailand have declared states of emergency in heavily impacted areas.
Authorities are struggling to provide relief and humanitarian aid to those trapped by rising waters. International assistance and urgent government efforts are underway to support recovery and prevent further casualties.
“This is one of the most severe floods we have encountered in decades,” an official said, urging residents to follow evacuation orders and safety instructions.
Despite the scale of the disaster, ongoing rains continue to threaten more areas, complicating rescue and relief operations.
Extreme flooding across southern Asia has resulted in over 600 deaths and displaced millions, with governments and aid organizations working urgently to assist affected communities and mitigate further damage.
