Safe and sound: Firemen helping flood victims at Kampung Bendang Pak Yong in Tumpat.
KOTA BARU: Residents in flood-prone areas are bracing for further misery after a downpour lasting more than 12 hours raised the number of flood victims to almost 20,000, in what the authorities call the worst floods in Kelantan in 10 years. And the worse may be yet to come.
The victims – an increase from 15,000 on Friday and 13,000 on Thursday – fled to relief centres around the state following heavy rains that started at 3am yesterday.
