Tragic Toll: South Korea Floods Claim 37 Lives

The death toll in South Korea has risen to 37 as heavy rain continues to trigger flash floods and landslides, causing destruction and forcing thousands to evacuate. Rescuers have recovered nine bodies from a flooded tunnel where around 15 vehicles were trapped in muddy water. The tunnel filled with water in just a few minutes, and divers are slowly pumping out the remaining water to prevent any victims or survivors from being swept away. More rain is expected in the central and southern parts of the country, and thousands of people have been evacuated while roads and homes have been damaged or destroyed. President Yoon Suk Yeol has called for all available resources to be mobilized to respond to the disaster.
