Hey friends, imagine waking up to find your entire village submerged! That's the harsh reality for folks across Assam right now 😢. With 29 districts underwater, the floods are causing chaos and heartbreak.
Just on Wednesday, we lost eight more souls, bringing the tragic death toll to 46. The Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) reports that 2,800 villages are flooded, and over 39,451 hectares of crops are damaged. That's a massive hit to the community and the local economy.
But amidst the despair, there's a silver lining. Local authorities are hustling hard, setting up 181 relief camps and 334 distribution centers. Over 386,959 people, including 8,551 kiddos, have found shelter and food thanks to these efforts 🙏.
Rescue teams are on the ground, working round the clock to help those stranded. The community is coming together, proving that in tough times, unity is our strength 💪.
Let's keep the people of Assam in our thoughts and spread the word. Awareness is key! Share this story and stay tuned for updates. Together, we can make a difference 🌍.
