Flash floods devastate Thai elephant sanctuary, 2 elephants dead and many evacuated 

Flash floods devastated the Elephant Nature Park in Chiang Mai, Thailand, killing two elephants and forcing the evacuation of around 100 more alongside dozens of tourists. Dramatic footage showed elephants wading through deep water as staff urgently directed them to safety. Despite some elephants reaching higher ground, 13 remain trapped, with further evacuations necessary. The flooding, caused by Typhoon Yagi’s heavy rains, has severely affected northern Thailand. Volunteers and boats are urgently needed to assist the sanctuary, which also houses 5,000 other animals. Many of the elephants are blind or injured, complicating rescue efforts.
