Hyderabad India Floods Relief

Western and Southern India are reeling from widespread flooding. The death toll is expected to rise as 60 lives were already claimed. Water entering basements of apartments has destroyed 20,540 homes, in 144 colonies, affecting the lives of 35,000 families (almost quarter of a million people).

The City of Hyderabad, in the State of Telagana, is facing the brunt of the devastation with heavy rainfall. Damage to infrastructure, mainly homes and businesses, poses a threat to families seeking safety from the rising waters. An estimated $272+ million in damages has been reported.
