Nation Group on Friday donated drinking water to flood victims in the Chaloem Phra Kiat district of Nakhon Si Thammarat province.

 

 

Even though the flood situation in many areas has returned to normal, people in downstream areas are still suffering from the inundation.

 

 

Meanwhile, many agencies handed out consumer goods, especially drinking water, to victims because large jars in which people had stored rainwater were destroyed by the floods.

 

 

On Saturday, Nation Group also handed out 1,500 bags of supplies to the flood victims.

 

 

Many people in the area are closely following the announcements of the Thailand Meteorological Department amid worries of a new wave of flash floods.

 

 

On Saturday, the Department of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation was reported as saying that 39,086 households in the provinces of Surat Thani, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Trang, Phatthalung and Songkhla were still struggling with floods.
