Cleanup after flooding
A woman hangs clothes that were soaked by heavy rain and flooding at a traditional market in a village in Gurye, South Jeolla Province, 300 kilometers south of Seoul, Monday. Many blamed the damage on a dam in Seomjin River that was opened during the heavy rain, causing parts of the river bank to burst. The Ministry of Environment promised Sunday to overhaul the nation's dam operations so that the same tragedy won't happen again. Yonhap
