THAILAND-FLOODS/

Buddhist nuns receive food from people as they sit in a boat on floodwaters at the Sathira-Dhammasathan Buddhist meditation centre in Bangkok November 4, 2011. As waterlogged Thailand struggles to contain the worst floods in decades, it faces a simple truth: not a whole lot can be done to avoid a repeat disaster in the short term even with a new multi-billion dollar water-management policy.
