Thai PM apologizes for failure to safeguard communities hit by floods
During a recent on-site visit, Anutin apologized to “every resident he met” for the government’s inability to prevent the scale of destruction, promising stronger measures and immediate action. He is scheduled to return to Hat Yai district in Songkhla province — one of the hardest-hit areas — to conduct urgent evaluations, as reported by local sources.
He stressed the importance of implementing “stricter” evacuation warnings and said authorities will review the overall damage to assemble a full support package, including soft loans and financial aid for affected families.
The death toll rose to 162 as of Saturday, with Songkhla province alone accounting for 126 fatalities. More than one million households nationwide have been impacted by the disaster.
The current flooding, considered the worst the country has experienced in 25 years, left thousands stranded in their homes earlier in the week.
