Assam Floods: Death Toll Rises to 46, Over 1.6 Million Affected

The flood situation in Assam continues to deteriorate, with the death toll rising to 46 and over 1.6 million people affected across 26 districts.

The grim reality:

  • Eight more people have lost their lives in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of flood-related deaths to 46.
  • Over 1.6 million people are currently struggling to cope with the devastating impact of the floods, with 26 districts grappling with the crisis.
  • The Brahmaputra River and its tributaries continue to flow above the danger mark, inundating vast swathes of land and displacing thousands.
  • Hundreds of villages are submerged under floodwaters, with residents forced to take refuge in makeshift shelters.
  • The situation is particularly dire in the districts of Dhemaji, Lakhimpur, Biswanath, Golaghat, Sonitpur, Majuli, and Barpeta, where the floods have wreaked havoc.

What authorities are doing:

  • The Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) is working tirelessly to provide relief to affected people.
  • Teams are deployed to evacuate people from flooded areas and provide them with food, water, and shelter.
  • Relief camps have been set up across the state to accommodate those who have lost their homes.
  • The Indian Army and National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have been called in to assist with rescue and relief operations.

How you can help:

  • Donate to relief organizations working in the affected areas.
  • Volunteer your time to assist in relief efforts.
  • Spread awareness about the situation and encourage others to help.

The situation is far from over, and we need to come together to support those affected by the Assam floods.
