2- Southeast Asias battle with some of the worst floods in decades is far from over, with waters seeping deeper into
the Thai capital of Bangkok. But the UN is already warning that parts of Southeast Asia affected by the floods are
facing serious food shortages, a problem caused by destroyed crops and compounded by the difficulty in delivering
food assistance. A report from FAO says that significant flooding and devastation across Southeast Asia including
Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, the Philippines and Thailand has caused severe damage to housing, infrastructure and
agriculture. Official estimates indicate that 1.6 million hectares, or 12.5% the total rice farmland has been damaged in
Thailand alone. In Cambodia, 12% of paddy fields have been destroyed, with another 7.5% in Laos, 6% in the
Philippines and 0.4% in Vietnam according to the FAO. In Thailand, while no precise crop damage estimates are
available, the FAO warned that the main rice season is at the critical growth stage and is likely to be affected the most.
