At least 40 people have died in South Korea after a weekend of severe rains caused widespread flooding and landslides across the country.
The disasters have prompted calls from President Yoon Suk Yeol to "overhaul" how the country combats extreme weather arising from climate change.
On Monday, the nation was reeling from a tunnel tragedy where at least 13 people died in their vehicles after becoming trapped by floodwaters.
The full death toll is still unknown.
