Nine bodies recovered from flooded tunnel, at least 37 people have died

Rescuers working to reach vehicles trapped in a flooded tunnel near the South Korean city of Cheongiu have recovered nine bodies.

Flood water caused by days of torrential rain poured into the underpass so quickly that passengers and drivers were trapped in their cars, unable to escape.

At least 37 people have died in total after flooding, landslides and power cuts across much of the country.

Nine people are still missing.
