2. Thai Flooding
75% of the country Thailand, is submerged underwater.
Over 315 people have died, thousands of people are now
homeless and about 90,000 flood victims are suffering
stress and in the worst case undergoing therapy.
The water is so deep that it is up to the chins or hips of
grown adults.
People move around using boats, elephants and even
tires or styrophome will do.
