The number of flood evacuees in Kelantan rose to 584 as at 5pm today compared to 374 people at noon.
According to the Social Welfare Department's Infobanjir application, eight evacuation centres were opened to house the flood victims in five districts, namely Jeli, Gua Musang, Kuala Krai and Pasir Mas and Pasir Puteh.
Some 437 people from 109 families were evacuated to three relief centres in Jeli followed by 80 people (from 20 families) in an evacuation centre in Gua Musang.
In Pasir Puteh, 35 people (from five families) were housed at two relief centres while 18 people (from five families) at a relief centre in Pasir Mas and 14 people (2 families) at a centre in Kuala Krai.
According to the portal ebanjir.kelantan.gov.my, the water level of Sungai Kelantan in Tangga Krai, Kuala Krai here has now crossed the danger level of 25 metre and is currently at 25.15m.
The water level at Sungai Golok in Rantau Panjang remained unchanged at 9.18m high from noon, which is still above the danger level of 9m.
Meanwhile, Gua Musang police chief Supt Rajab Ahad Ismail was disappointed with the flood victims in Kampung Limau Kasturi, Gua Musang, who were not ready early to move to the relief centre at Sekolah Kebangsaan Limau Kasturi 2.
"They were moved at the last minute, causing a chaotic atmosphere especially for rescuers moving them to shelters," he said.
He also said that among the victims were those who moved to their relatives' house or to the hills which made it difficult for the Social Welfare Department to channel food and other necessities to them.
Rajab Ahad also wants parents to supervise their children not to play in flood waters to avoid untoward incidents.- BERNAMA
