Death toll surpasses 1,000 in devastating floods as military deployed after two storms ravage 4 nations across Asia

More than 1,000 lives have been lost in Asia’s devastating floods as the death toll continues to rise. Sri Lanka and Indonesia, the most severely impacted countries, have deployed their military to aid survivors of the catastrophic flooding. Along with them, regions in Thailand and Malaysia have been hit hard by heavy rainfall, forcing locals to seek refuge on their rooftops until rescue operations can reach them. Indonesia’s President Prabowo Subianto personally visited Sumatra, one of the worst-hit areas, stating that ‘the worst has passed, hopefully.’ The death toll in Indonesia alone has surpassed 500 victims. This is a developing story, with updates to come.
