Floods

August 17, 2007

Have been reading about the devastating impact of the floods in Bihar, eastern UP and elsewhere. Much of the newspaper coverage seems to have gone into the inside pages while the front pages were taken up with news of Sunjay Dutt’s prison term. Here is an online diary by an Oxfam aid worker. The page also provides links to the sites of some relief organisations. Here’s a Unicef report about their mobile medical camps in the region. Also see Goonj for their work in flood-hit areas.
