BANGKOK (AP) — The death toll from
Thailand's worst flooding in more than half a century has passed 600.
The floods began in late July, fed by heavy
monsoon rains and a series of tropical storms. The floodwaters swamped entire
towns as they moved south through the country's central heartland to Bangkok
and the Gulf of Thailand. More than two-thirds of the country's 77 provinces
have been affected.
The government said Sunday that the death toll
has reached 602, the majority from drowning. It said the number of affected
provinces is currently 17.
The situation has improved dramatically in
recent days and cleanup has begun in many areas, though some still face weeks
more under water.
