And how could I bring up India without mentioning the flooding that is so horribly affecting certain regions of that country?
- 28 million have been affected by 2 weeks of torrential rain in regions of India, Bangladesh and Nepal
- One of the worst hit districts received 18.5 inches of rain in 24 hours. Villages are now lost under 6 feet of water
- Supply food, drinking water and medicines are desperately needed, but relief efforts are slow to respond because of the scope of the disaster
- Water sources in the flooded regions are contaminated, and so a health crisis is quickly developing.
These people need aid, and quickly!
