HANOI – Millions of people across Southeast Asia struggled Thursday with flooded homes, power cuts and wrecked infrastructure after Typhoon Yagi swept through the region, as the death toll passed 200.
One farmer told AFP his entire 1,800 square meter peach blossom plantation was submerged, destroying all 400 of his trees. Thousands have been forced to evacuate their homes, while others are struggling with power cuts, and in one badly hit district on the outskirts of Hanoi, more than 15,000 people have been affected by the floods.
This comes in addition to a separate landslide in the same province that annihilated an entire village of 37 houses, killing at least 34 people with 46 still unaccounted for. In Thailand the death toll has risen to eight, with four more deaths reported from a landslide in Chiang Mai province, according to provincial governor Nirat Pongsitthaworn.
Buddhist temples, along with hotels and resorts, have opened their doors to accommodate almost 1,000 people flooded out of their homes, the government said.
