The current flooding in Thailand has been the worst in a half a century with the death toll continuing to rise and reaching past 500 deaths and counting. New evacuation have been ordered in the city of Bangkok as polluted black water is continuing to flow into the city and threatening the subway system. So far there have been 11 of Bangkok's 50 districts with evacuations ordered along with partial evacuations in 7 more districts. The evacuations are not mandatory so most people are staying to protect their homes and businesses, but the orders show how the flooding is continuing to progress and the government is having troubled controlling the situation. Rainfall has been drenching Thailand since late July killing 506 people most being killed by drowning, but a handful have been killed by flood related electrocutions as well. A few days earlier workers finished a 3.7 mile flood wall made from large sandbags to try and divert some of the water that is flowing towards central Bangkok, but a large amount of the water is already past the wall and continuing to push towards the center of the city. Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra says that there is a plan that would allocate $3.3 billion dollars for post-flood reconstruction.
