A total of 34 people were killed while 29 of 77 provinces have been hit in the flood, the Thai authorities revealed Thursday. A total of 166 districts, mostly in the North, Northeastern and Central, are now hit by floods, affecting more than 1.7 million people. Moreover, about 6,900 houses, 450,000 acres of farmland, 2,310 roads and 145 bridges were damaged by the floodwater, according to the Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Department. The flood, caused by seasonal monsoon and depression, has affected the country since mid September. Hardest hit are eastern Sa Kaeo, Prachin Buri and Chachoengsao provinces.
