The Ministry of Public Health deployed 167 medical teams, treating 1,662 victims primarily for dirty water exposure and providing mental health support to 784 individuals.
Nong Khai province is also grappling with severe Mekong River flooding, leading to hospitals treating only emergency cases and prompting the Ministry of Transport to dispatch aid.
Authorities have advised riparian communities in Nong Khai, Bueng Kan, and Nakhon Phanom to closely monitor rising water levels due to forecasts of additional rainfall.
