  "account": "Nearly 3.52 million people across 26 regions and Bangkok remain affected by flooding that began on September 16, according to authorities in Bangkok, Xinhua reported on Monday. As of Monday, the disaster has claimed 31 lives and left around 4.14 million individuals displaced, Xinhua said. The Office of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation reported that nearly 3.52 million people in 26 areas and the capital are still grappling with the aftermath of the flooding. Prime Minister Anutin Charnvirakul directed relevant agencies to expedite water release, aid, and post-flood recovery efforts as Southeast Asia anticipates another major storm and high tide. During a meeting with the National Disaster Coordination Center, Anutin stated that the overall situation was improving, with water levels in upper regions stabilizing and receding. He ordered floodgates that are full or nearly full to release water promptly while ensuring communities in lower areas are protected. He also directed the clearance of blocked waterways and drainage, as well as the drainage of water trapped in flood-affected areas. Heavy rain, thunderstorms, and strong winds are expected to continue until Wednesday across most parts of the country, including Bangkok, according to the Office of Disaster Prevention and Mitigation.",
