Laos Facing Torrential Rain

Over 3,000 people in several villages in northern Laos’ Xayaboury province have been hit by serious floods after days of torrential rain in northern Laos.

Lao officials, police, military and volunteers are working around the clock to assist households that have been severely affected by floods after heavy rain in mid-June, according to a report by Lao National Radio on Tuesday.

Parts of Northern and Central Laos have been hit by floods after tropical storm Koguma blew across Laos over the weekend.

Authorities warn everyone to be prepared for extreme weather and follow forecasts regularly in order to mitigate the effects of severe conditions.
