Christian Aid To The Fore.

Monsoon rains and widespread flooding have displaced more than a million people in India, creating a dire situation for those affected and spurring action by those committed to helping those who desperately need it.

The states hardest hit by the unrelenting rains have been the states of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, which have been soaked for the past 19 days. The monsoon has resulted in the failure of dykes and embankments throughout the region, leading to the massive flooding.This particular season has been fierce since it began in June, with rain amounts reaching levels not seen in nearly three decades. So far this season 34 people have been killed and more than 700 villages have been washed away, which led to the large number of people being displaced.

But villagers in India have welcomed aid that several Christian organizations knew they so desperately needed. While the rising water levels may be survivable, the health dangers produced by such events unfortunately are not.Issues with sanitation, clean drinking water and hygiene needs for so many people are being met with donations from Christian Aid and their partners.
