Rescue teams are searching for survivors as the death toll from severe flooding and landslides in Southeast Asia exceeds 370. The disaster, triggered by heavy monsoon rains, has impacted Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia.
The floods have killed hundreds of people and stranded thousands more. Many survivors waited for rescue on their rooftops after water overwhelmed large areas of the three countries this week.
In Indonesia, rescuers face significant challenges reaching the most damaged parts of Sumatra island. More than 100 individuals are still missing in this region.
Clean-up operations are now underway across the affected nations as communities begin to recover from the devastation.
