HUMANITARIAN APPEAL : UTTARAKHAND FLOOD RESPONSE [India]
(From SEEDS India)
Heavy and non-stop rainfall has caused irreversible damage in the state of Uttarakhand and Himachal Pradesh. The worst flood affected districts are Uttarkashi, Chamoli, Rudraprayag, Pithorgarh in Uttarakhand and Kinnaur in Himachal Pradesh. Roads and essential infrastructure (bridges and health centres) have suffered extensive damage. There is an urgent need for humanitarian assistance to the local communities.
More than 70,000 people are still missing. Local families have lost everything they owned (houses, livestock, assets) .Our team and partner organizations are assessing the situations and supporting basic needs on the ground. The ground realities are expected to get worse in the coming days with lack of clean water, medical aid, shelter and food shortages.
SEEDS, an humanitarian organization, plans to restore houses for 200 families and will continue to meet the basic needs
