here’s the short brief for what’s happen from The Mirror Foundation

Over the last fortnight Thailand has been inundated by the worst floods in over 50 years. 30 out of Thailand’s 76 provinces have been affected, covering almost a quarter of the country with dangerous flood waters. The rain has been unusually heavy for this time of year, double the downfall of 2009. It is hard to know the full extent of the damage in some communities – communication is hard with most lines rendered useless because of flood damage, and many roads are impassable.

According to the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation, 828,443 homes and nearly 2.5 million people have been affected, with the death toll currently standing at 56 known fatalities. Rescue teams and government services have been overwhelmed by the unexpected flooding and are still trying to reach thousands of people stranded in their homes.

The government estimates the cost of the damage at over $650 million dollars. However, trying to estimate the long term damage caused is virtually impossible, especially in the more severely affected rural areas. Thailand is a country with a large agricultural sector, farming being the only source of income for many of its people. Over the last two weeks many farmers have watched helplessly as their livelihood has been washed away, with thousands of acres being swamped by water.

Donations to buy food, fresh water and medical supplies are urgently needed to help alleviate the suffering of those affected.

In a few weeks, the flood waters will recede and the media will leave, but the effects of the disaster will be felt by locals for many months to come. The medium and long term aid campaign will focus on providing equipment and money needed for reconstruction, sanitation, health and hygiene, as well as the financial issues associated with any disaster.

and from The Thai Red Cross Society

After heavy floods were triggered in late June in Thailand caused by typhoon Haima and tropical storm Nock-Ten, more than 210 people have been killed and over 2.4 million people across the country have been affected by the flooding including in central, northern and northeastern provinces.

The Thai Red Cross Society, through its chapters and health stations has carried out distribution of relief goods in 29 provinces as well as deployment of 16 flat bottom boats in 8 affected provinces. Moreover, three water purification teams have been active, along with mobile kitchen teams with the capacity to produce 6,000 meals/day. As of 7 October, 93,482 relief kits and 84,569 packs of drinking water have been distributed to the victims. The total amount spent for relief kits to date is 93,290,840 Baht.

These are the photos that my friend – WISON TUNGTHUNYA’S PHOTOGRAPHY took in Ayutthaya area one month ago. According to his blog, the flood level is so much more serious now. This is the worst flood in 50 years. The main cause is the unusually heavy monsoon rains. you can see more details and photos in his blog here

and here’re some photos from his blog for you to understand more how serious it is now in Thailand.

I’ll try to keep update this blog and more photos later on
