More than 700 dead as flooding hits southeast Asian countries
At least 745 people have died in flooding in Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Laos and the Philippines since July, the Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific said.
Thailand has been hit the hardest, with 315 people killed in that time frame, officials said.
Monsoon rains across Thailand have affected millions of people in 61 of its provinces, the country's Flood Relief Operation Command reported.
Cambodia, meanwhile, reported 247 dead since July.

This is awful.
My heart goes out to them.
Theres plenty of them. Im sure its fine
Agreed.
This is God's way of saying, "Damn! You need a bath!"
No. No berry wet here. No much rain. CNN confused.
The in-laws on Mindanao are fine from what I've heard. Luzon seems to get a lot more rain. Strange how weather systems always seem to move the same direction, year after year.
In the United States we would be trying to figure out who to blame for the flooding. Then make new laws so these floods would never happen again!
Those people have my deepest sympathy may they find peace and hope to a better life and may the dead rest in peace as well, and I hope the lost ones find their way home . I don't see how anybody could joke about something like this hopefully they'll get food and medical attention from their government .
My brother and wife are on Holiday there I pray for their safe return. May god bless the people there.
Excellent knowledge! I have been previously looking for something such as this for a little bit now. Many thanks!
