Thailand Floods

Thailand is currently experiencing its worst floods in half a century. Floodwaters have swept across 60 of Thailand’s 77 provinces over the past two months and rains have lashed the country incessantly for over three months, Evidently the floods have reached levels that threaten to overwhelm the carefully built barriers protecting the more than 10 million inhabitants of the capital of Bangkok. 

It is reported that more than 2.5 million people have been affected or displaced by the floods and the death toll has exceeded four hundred. Homes are submerged, floodwater is running through entire towns and approximately sixty thousand families are displaced.  Families are living on roadsides with floodwater running through their makeshift tarpaulin shelters and sanitation is severely affected.

        

 

This is yet another humanitarian crisis of huge proportions, and the need for aid remains desperate.   Adhyatmik Foundation Inc (AF) is contributing to the relief and rehabilitation efforts required in every way practical. AF is working in close coordination with local authorities and NGOs (Non‐Governmental Organizations) to ensure the relief reaches the people who need it most.
