#Flashflood #kills #two #Karen #Mae #HongSon

Two Karen refugees fleeing fighting in Myanmar were drowned when flashflood swept through the farm where they were employed to keep watch in Tambon Pangmoo of Mae Hong Son province yesterday.
Their bodies were recovered from Soi canal after villagers at ban Naisoi and Ban Sop soi returned to their villages and farmlands to inspect damages to their houses and farms after flashflood swept the two villages following several days of rainfalls.

Both fled fighting in Myanmar and were given temporary shelters at the border.

Meanwhile provincial authorities have banned entry by tourists to the Karen Kor Yao (long-neck Karen) village at Ban Naisoi, and all river cruises along the Paid river due to rising water and floating love that could pose danger.

Rising Moei River bringing Thai-Myanmar border trade to a total halt

Days-long heavy rain has flooded Myanmar’s town of Myawady in Kayin state, affecting tens of thousands of people.

The town close to Mae Sot of Thailand has suffered floods for three consecutive years in the rainy season and this year has is the worst as shops and some schools were forced to close.

All the wards in Myawady have reportedly been flooded since Sunday. The rising Thaungyin River (Moei River) has also flooded the area from Friendship Bridge to Bayintnaung road on Monday, causing difficult access for the residents.

“Since July 28, we have been carrying out rescue work. Even the places where rescue camps were opened in last year’s floods are now flooded. So, we are opening a camp at Kyakhattaw monastery,” said a rescue work official.

Locals report that some houses in the town have been submerged by floodwater and tens of thousands of people from thousands of homes were forced to evacuate. It is likely that the river level will continue to rise due to continued heavy rainfall, the locals commented.

Tak’s Mae Sot district continued to suffer from what has been described as the worst flooding to hit the area in 20 years, with the rising Moei River bringing Thai-Myanmar border trade to a total halt for four days, causing Bt1.2 billion in lost business.

The River Moei is the border between Burma and Thailand. One side is Burma, one side is Thailand, the river belongs to neither. Our pictures taken to day show the sign that marks the border, normally perched on a high concrete wall a couple of meters above the riverbed, the remains of the riverbed village community, which sends many children to Agape school, and the flooded border market and the stalls behind. The city, the Mae Tao Clinic and many schools are flooded. Schools are temporarily closed until the water subsides

Thailand: Floods hit southern provinces

• • PHATTHALUNG, Nov 24 – Thailand’s southern provinces have been deluged with continued heavy rain, and Phatthalung declared the whole province a disaster zone.

    Phatthalung’s 11 districts were declared disaster zones after nearly half the province went under water, said Thanakorn Tabanphruk, head of the provincial disaster prevention and mitigation office.

    Continued rain triggered flooding in the province and the announcement of the disaster zones will allow local authorities to offer assistance quickly under official regulations, he added.

    In Surat Thani, forest runoff from Krangkrung National Park flooded Chaiya’s Pakmak subdistrict.

    One bridge over a canal is damaged, cutting off about 100 families from the outside world and attempts to assist them have not succeeded. Ongoing rain and forest runoff led to floods spreading into to other sub-districts in Chaiya and Tha Chang districts. Some areas are under 1.5 metres of floodwater.

    In Narathiwat, the Sungai Kolok River overflowed its banks, flooding a riverside community. About 120 local residents have been evacuated to a temporary shelter. A number of low-lying communities in three sub-districts were flooded.

    Moreover, the Bangnara River has flooded low-lying areas in the provincial seat and Rangae district, while Narathiwat municipality was hit by a heavy downpour, triggering floods in eight communities. About 100 houses were damaged, with local authorities already providing initial help.

    In Songkhla, Khlong U-tapao flooded houses and rubber plantations in Khlonghoikong district. The floodwater is 0.50-1 metre deep and resident must travel by boat.  (MCOT online news)

 

Building and Wood Worker’s International Solidarity Statement -Flooding in Thailand Impacts Thousands of Migrants

The BWI expresses its solidarity with the hundreds of thousands of workers and their families across Thailand who has been affected by the most recent floods to have hit the country, the worst in over 70 years.

While the floods affects all people in Thailand, undoubtedly those hit the hardest are the people who do not have access to social support networks and often live in temporary and precarious accommodation. Migrant workers have been the most deeply impacted by the current flooding. When the homes, factories and worksites of migrant workers are hit by the floods there is often nowhere for them to turn, and returning home is difficult, dangerous or costly.

Current estimates of the damage from the flooding include more than 9,000 factories inundated with water and 660,000 jobs at risk. Approximately 200,000 migrant workers from Burma, Laos and Cambodia in flood stricken areas have been badly affected and many more are expected to be affected as the flood water reaches other Districts of Bangkok. Currently only 250 Burmese migrant workers are living in shelters in the Greater Bangkok area, while reports from border areas of Thailand cite thousands of workers returning to Burma every day, with more than 10,000 returning in one day on October 29.

Thailand Flood: Sra Kaeo’s Department of Immigration Capture Fleeing Illegal Workers

Department of Immigration officials in Sra Kaeo Province assembled a team of police officers to detain fleeing Cambodian illegal workers escaping the country because of the flood crisis. 
27.october 2011
Police dispersed their units to surround the Ban Dan and Ban Mai Nong Sai District. They have captured at least 309 illegal workers with the help of local residents, who filed complaints about this matter. Locals were angry that the alien workers have drained water from their bogs and canals and chopped wood for the use of fuel, depleting the area’s resources.

There were also a large number of crooks hiding within the ranks of these illegal workers who rode bicycles and looted agricultural tools from the locals. A majority of these workers come from very poor families. One of the illegal aliens, a 33 year-old woman named Hon, has been doing labor work to support seven children aged between 2 to 10 years old. Hon was a flood evacuee as well.
