Inundation of India and Bangladesh continues. Weeks of heavy rains in northern Bangladesh and the eastern Indian state of Assam have left some 85000 people affected. As of Thursday, August 26, 70% of an estimated 60000 people in Assam state remained in makeshift shelters on raised platforms or government offices. In Bangladesh, 100 families in Kurigram District were rendered homeless as 13500 flood-hit people face food and clean water shortages after a major breach occurred in the embankment of the River Dharla. Hundreds more families were displaced from throughout 40 villages in Lalmonirhat District, where thousands of hectares of crops have been destroyed. Government and non-government organizations have joined efforts and are working together to provide emergency shelter and food aid to victims. Our appreciation, Indian and Bangladeshi officials and relief teams for your efforts to alleviate the flood disasters as we pray for the alleviation of such weather extremities through our kinder stewardship of the ecosphere.
