Rescue Workers Evacuate Thousands as Deadly Floods Devastate Southern Thailand | APT

Rescue workers in Thailand waded through deep floodwaters late Wednesday (November 26), evacuating residents trapped in one of the worst flooding disasters the country has faced in years.
Three days of relentless torrential rain dumped record-breaking water levels on Hat Yai — the key commercial hub of southern Thailand — submerging hospitals, cutting off major roads, and leaving thousands stranded on rooftops.

The Thai government airlifted patients and rushed critical supplies, including oxygen tanks, into the flooded city as the national death toll rose to 33.
Flooding has swept across nine Thai provinces and eight states in neighboring Malaysia, forcing nearly 50,000 people to flee their homes for shelters. Indonesia has also been hit, with authorities reporting an estimated 8 to 13 deaths from landslides and floods this week.
Thailand’s military has deployed boats, helicopters, and even its lone aircraft carrier to assist with rescue operations, deliver food, and evacuate the sick as the crisis continues.
