Southeast Asia's Flood Crisis: Unprecedented Devastation

Southeast Asia faces unprecedented flooding, with over 1400 deaths and thousands missing.

Malaysia and Vietnam also suffer, while the Philippines endures a year of storms and floods. Climate scientists warn of a new normal, with extreme weather likely to worsen due to rising carbon dioxide levels and warming oceans. Governments struggle to respond, and vulnerable countries call for compensation for climate-related losses. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
