Severe floods caused by monsoon rains have killed more than 30 people and displaced tens of thousands in Malaysia and southern Thailand, with both countries preparing shelters and evacuation plans in anticipation of more heavy rain.

At least 13 people died and tens of thousands evacuated in one of the worst floods in decades to batter southern Thailand and northern Malaysia.

The death toll from the worst floods in decades in southern Thailand and northern Malaysia climbed to at least 12 on Saturday, authorities said, as tens of thousands of people were evacuated due to rising water levels in the past three days.

The Malaysian Department of Social Welfare reported late Monday that over 95,000 people across eight states were forced to evacuate to over 400 temporary relief centers. Kelantan continued to record the highest number of evacuees at 58,146, followed by Terengganu, 27,544, Kedah, 7,426, and Pahang, 1,847.

Floods in northern Malaysia and southern Thailand have claimed the lives of at least 12 people, and 135,000 individuals have been forced to leave their homes. Authorities warn that the number of casualties may increase.
