The capital of Thailand, Bangkok, is underwater as seasonal rains and back-to-back typhoons have caused flooding across SE Asia, affecting more than 8 million people, and destroying homes, livelihoods and infrastructure. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) is supporting national disaster management offices in Cambodia, Thailand, Lao PDR, Viet Nam and the Phillipines, who are leading the response together with UN agencies and NGOs.
