Kerala Floods Affects Millions

Kerala Floods Affect Millions

Assalaamu Alaykum WaRahmatullahi WaBarakatahu,

Over 400 have died and 23 million have been affected in what officials are calling the worst flooding in over a century. Monsoon rains breeched over 80 dams of the 44 rivers running throughout the south Indian state of Kerala earlier this month. An estimated 1 million people are scattered throughout the 6,000 shelter camps while thousands remain stranded.

HHRD, through its India Relief Fund , is working closely with vetted NGO partners on the ground to provide emergency relief of food, water and shelter to the victims of this disaster. As rains have subsided, relief workers are making their way to towns many of which have been submerged in rising flood waters.

Countless have lost their lives in over 200 landslides as devastation and destruction affect the districts of Wayanad, Palakkad, Idukki, Calicut, Kannur, Malappuram, Ernakulam, Pathanamthitta,and Kottayam. If proper care is not taken stagnant water can prove deadly with waterborne diseases. There is also the ever-looming threat of malnutrition with overwhelming damage to agriculture and livestock. HHRD, through its partner NGOs, is providing emergency relief of food, shelter and water to the victims of this natural disaster.
