More than 100 people have died in India since July due to floods and landslides triggered by monsoon rains, according to official data released Wednesday, with thousands forced to leave their homes, reports arabnews.pk. The disaster has hit several regions, with the northeastern state of Assam among the most affected, where at least 87 people have been confirmed dead.
The annual monsoon season, which brings much-needed rainfall to farmers, has become increasingly erratic and dangerous due to climate change, according to scientists. This has led to more unpredictable and deadly weather patterns across South Asia. The government has been working to manage the crisis, but many areas remain cut off, complicating rescue and relief efforts.
The floods and landslides have caused widespread disruption, with infrastructure damaged and communities displaced. Local authorities have been evacuating residents from flooded areas, but the scale of the disaster continues to grow. The situation highlights the growing impact of climate change on vulnerable regions in the country.
The Indian government has acknowledged the severity of the crisis and is coordinating with disaster response agencies to provide aid. However, the challenge remains significant, with many areas still in need of urgent assistance. (arabnews.pk)
