[size=5]UN Blames Govt for Poor Flood Management[/size]
The United Nations has warned that natural disasters and floods in ASEAN are triggering a humanitarian crisis, claiming that no integrated effort to solve the turmoil will result in failure in tackling the after effects.
The Voice of America or VOA has reported that natural disasters in Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and the Philippines have killed more than 700 people already and affected eight million residents.
Moreover, Thailand's capital of Bangkok is under threat of floods, which have already submerged industrial estates and crippled the growing economy.
UN ESCAP Executive Secretary Noeleen Heyzer pointed out that the main weakness to tackling the flood crisis in Thailand is the abundance of organizations to oversee water management.
She noted the Thai government has failed to streamline the eight agencies involved, resulting in policies going in different directions.
Heyzer said this problem is not only limited to Thailand but is being seen in other countries in the region.
She further warned that this crisis may be just a prelude to future natural calamities.
Various foreign media have pointed out the fact that what is seen in Thailand may not be a natural disaster but rather a human disaster as dams were not discharging as much water as they should, perhaps in hope of storing water for irrigation during the drought season.
Therefore, when the rainy-season peaks, the dams are in full capacity and have to discharge water, causing this massive flooding.
