Fifteen people have died and one million have been affected by flooding in Thailand’s deep south, authorities said Tuesday.

 

The monsoon rains that started late last month have inundated eight provinces and hit hundreds of thousands of households, according to the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department.

 

Fifteen people have drowned, an official at the department’s call centre told AFP. The toll stood at five under a week ago.
