Stare de catastrofă, declarată într-un oraș cu 10 milioane de locuitori unde plouă de joi: „Nivelul apei continuă să crească”

Bangkok has declared a state of emergency due to severe flooding caused by continuous heavy rains, affecting all 50 districts. Nearly 300 millimeters of rain have fallen since Thursday, leading to rising water levels and significant disruptions. Local authorities are taking emergency measures as many streets are submerged, and some vehicles are floating. The eastern part of the city is the most impacted, with officials urging vulnerable residents to consider temporary hospital stays. This situation recalls the devastating floods of 2011 that resulted in over 500 deaths.
