Bangkok declares flood disaster across all 50 districts
–
Neutral summary
Bangkok was declared a disaster zone across all its 50 districts on Saturday after nearly two days of relentless rain triggered the worst flooding in 15 years. Between 24 and 25 September, close to 300 millimetres of rain fell, according to governor Chadchart Sittipunt, who said the city had received almost 300 millimetres since Thursday. The downpours overwhelmed canals and submerged 15 major roads, with water reaching up to 1.5 metres in some areas action. More than 84,000 people were affected, with around 980 in temporary shelters and 36 taken to hospital, according to La Nación. One fatality was reported, and flooding also hit 21 other Thai provinces. Authorities prepared a million sandbags and opened shelters in schools, while residents were advised not to leave their homes. More rain is forecast for Sunday, and officials said the situation could stabilise if the downpours do not resume. Some outlets, such as Die Welt, reported that water reached waist height and food was running short in places.
