Floods in many parts of AsiaIn western Odisha, India, floods in the Mahanadi basin affected over 170,000 people, with 23 dead in as many as 19 districts of the State. Thirty-six breaches in river embankments marooned almost 2600 villages. At least 2.2 million people are affected that includes 3,505 villages. It is feared that post-flood diseases will reak out. Food aid has reached flood victims of Kendrapada, Puri and Jagatsinghpur districts, with several voluntary organizations and political parties engaged in flood relief activities. Thousands of homes are destroyed and over 61,000 peoples are evacuated to safer places. The situation is likely to worsen further as there are chances of another low pressure which is coming up in the Bay of Bengal Ocean leading to more rain in next few days. (with reports from Angelious Michael, NCC India) In Pakistan, at least 269 people are already confirmed dead, six million affected, with half a million having lost everything they have. Children are dying of diseases and hunger in camps, while food and tents are in short supply. And this to happen even before those hit by the 2010 floods could return to their homeland. posted by cbs on Tuesday, September 20, 2011 |
