Floods killed 22 people in South Korea
In South Korea, torrential rains that resulted in floods and landslides have killed at least 22 people and left another 14 people missing, according to officials on Saturday. The houses of thousands will be boycotted.
Because of a landslip in a hilly terrain that enveloped homes and people inside, the majority of the casualties, including 16 people who died and nine people who are still missing, were from North Gyeongsang province.
More than 6,400 people in the central Goesan region were reportedly forced to leave early on Saturday when the Goesan dam burst and inundated adjacent towns, according to South Korea's interior ministry.
Since it has been raining severely for the past three days, South Korea, which is in the midst of its rainy season, has seen flooding and landslides, which have caused the Goesan Dam to overflow.
