KUANTAN, Jan 14 — The situation in flood-hit areas of Pahang continued to improve today, with just nine people at a relief centre in the Lipis district as at 9am.

The evacuees were being housed at the Kampung Beralas community hall in Lipis, said a spokesman of the Pahang Police flood operations room.

He said their houses were flooded to a depth of more than one metre.

The first wave of floods, which hit Pahang last December, forced the evacuation of more than 55,000 people in nine districts and claimed the lives of three people. — Bernama
