Bihar Flood Relief

Heavy rains have flooded over 500 villages in north Bihar and affected nearly two million people as all major rivers are in spate.



The disaster began in mid-August, when a dam burst in neighbouring Nepal caused the Kosi river to breach its banks and change course.



More than a million people have lost their homes and the death toll of 90 is expected to rise greatly as flood waters recede.



But many refugees complain that the emergency effort so far has been too slow and inadequate.



Indian officials are in a race against time to rescue hundreds of thousands of people displaced by flooding in the state of Bihar.



Many of the flood victims have been left stranded without homes, food and clean drinking water.



Scenes of chaos have been witnessed, with fights breaking out as people tried to board overcrowded rescue boats.

: Ready to lend a helping hand to those stranded in the middle of massive floods in Bihar, doctors in Delhi have got together under the umbrella of “Youth For Equality” to launch a large-scale flood relief operation.

The umbrella organisation already has on board over 1,500 specialist doctors and other volunteers in association with Indian Railways and a non-government organisation, Youth for Equality. The group is now working towards mobilising more support for the campaign and is requesting people to be generous and donate dry foodstuff, clothes, medical supplies and other material to ensure that they can be useful to those rendered homeless and injured in the recent flooding.
