Over 900 killed in floods in Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Sri Lanka.

In Indonesia, at least 593 people have died, with nearly 470 reported missing. Floodwaters and mudslides have swept through numerous districts in North Sumatra, West Sumatra and Aceh, displacing more than 578,000 residents. Many communities remain cut off after roads collapsed and communication lines failed, forcing aid groups to deliver supplies by air and boat.

Sri Lanka has reported 355 deaths and 366 missing, with more than one million people affected nationwide. Districts such as Kandy, Nuwara Eliya, Badulla and Colombo have faced the heaviest damage. Military rescue teams continue to ferry stranded families to safety, while authorities warn that the toll may rise as access improves to remote, landslide-hit areas.

In Thailand, at least 176 people have died after the Senyar storm system pounded southern provinces bordering Malaysia. Songkhla province alone reported over 130 deaths, with Hat Yai experiencing its heaviest single-day rainfall in 300 years. Floodwaters around Songkhla Lake have surged, prompting large-scale evacuation efforts.

Malaysia has recorded three deaths, with flooding sweeping across eight states. More than 18,000 people were evacuated to temporary shelters as water levels crossed “danger” thresholds in several regions.

Climate experts warn that rising global temperatures, warming oceans and intensifying storms are contributing to increasingly severe weather events across Asia. Analysts say governments in the region were caught unprepared for the scale of the disaster, despite earlier weather warnings.

Relief operations remain ongoing as emergency personnel, military units and international aid agencies work to deliver food, clean water and medical support to millions affected. Authorities in all four countries have urged residents in vulnerable areas to remain vigilant as heavy rainfall continues in several regions.
