Flood-affected Bang Bua Thong needs more assistance
According to local sources, Bang Bua Thong district is currently facing a worsened crisis. A large number of local evacuees had fled the area due to the vast amount of excessive floodwater penetrating the region which may become more dangerous for the public.
The disaster had caused distraught families to immediately evacuate the area immediately leaving the congested and damaged places for military officials to attend to. GMC vehicles and other large caterpillar vehicles with lifesaving equipment are now in the area for continuous rescue operations. However, certain areas are still inaccessible, including Klong Chek and Klong Lamli.
Moreover, reports suggests that certain areas are congested with polluted water and had even discovered an invasion of a 4 meter crocodile. Luckily, no injuries or animal attacks were reported. In the disaster, 8 had lost their lives from electrocution and drowning.
The district is in a state of despair and needs more assistance and boats to deal with the disastrous floodwater.
