A catastrophic event has resulted in a rising number of fatalities. Flash floods and landslides have affected villages, causing widespread destruction. Thousands of people are still unaccounted for as rescue efforts continue in challenging terrain.

Floodwaters are receding, allowing authorities to access previously inaccessible areas. The disaster has had far-reaching effects, with a family in Canton searching for a loved one who was traveling in the affected region.

For those unable to contact family members, the Red Cross offers a way to initiate a search. Further information on this process and the situation is available through the organization and other sources.
