Answers
Assam is facing the third wave of flooding, affecting 1.25 lakh people in five districts of the state. These devastating floods have claimed the lives of more than 157. According to a report by the Assam State Disaster Management Authority as many as 299 villages are under water and nearly 15,500 hectares of crop area is inundated. Save the Children is responding in 3 worst-affected districts of Assam – Dhemaji, Majuli and Sonitpur.
The death toll in Bihar has mounted to 514. About 17.1 million people in 19 districts are still affected. Save the Children have initiated response operations in Sitamarhi and Kishanganj districts of Bihar.
Around 64 people have died in the floods which ravaged at least 6 districts of Northern West Bengal. Nearly 5.4 million people have been affected across 55 blocks and 17 Municipal areas of these districts. We have mounted a rapid response targeting 1,000 households in the Habibpur block of Malda district of West Bengal.
Scaling up our response, we are now reaching out to children and their families through Education Kits and Livelihood Support (both men and women). This is in addition to the distribution of Shelter Kits and Hygiene Kits along with setting up of Child Friendly Spaces.
In all we have provided humanitarian assistance to 1,300 households in Assam and Bihar. Our aim is to reach 10,000 families over a period of 6 months in Assam, Bihar and West Bengal. This number will be increased if required.
