Typhoon Yagi in Thailand
Northern Thailand, especially Chiang Rai, is experiencing significant flooding as a result of continuous heavy rainfall intensified by Typhoon Yagi.
The Mae Sai district has suffered the most severe impact, with the Sai River overflowing and flooding the Thai-Myanmar border.
Rescue teams are struggling to reach residents who have been cut off for days without food or water. The situation is dire, compounded by power outages that hinder relief operations.
Additionally, numerous regions are reporting landslides and flash floods, leading to further complications.
Typhoon Yagi is the strongest storm to hit Asia this year.
