KOTA BARU: Flooding in Kelantan has worsened as the number of evacuees has doubled within the span of a few hours.
A total of 319 flood victims have been evacuated as of 8.30pm compared to 157 at 6pm.
According to the state's online flood portal, the 319 from 90 families are now taking shelter at seven flood relief centres in four districts.
The affected districts were Tanah Merah, Pasir Putih, Pasir Mas and Kota Baru.
The portal also stated that all the major rivers in Kelantan continue to increase following the non-stop heavy rain since Saturday but the levels have still not breached the dangerous mark.
