Rescue teams transported school supplies through floodwaters in Thailand following Typhoon Wipha.

A local education centre in Pon Subdistrict, Nan province, was affected by flooding on July 23, prompting the removal of materials from the premises.

Footage shows emergency responders and military personnel using ropes tied to boats, pulling them towards higher ground that remained unaffected by the deluge.

Typhoon Wipha has been pounding Thailand with strong winds and torrential downpours.

The Thai Meteorological Department on Monday predicted more heavy rain and high seas until July 24. It added around half of Thailand will be battered with increased rainfall due to the typhoon, which made landfall in China's southern Guangdong province on July 20.

Sukanyanee Yawinchan, director-general of the Thai Meteorological Department, said Wipha has been downgraded to a tropical depression after hitting neighbouring Laos and was expected to further weaken into a low-pressure area.
