Monsoon Flooding: Natural Disaster in India

Back in June, Uttarakhand, which is in Northern India, had experienced horrible flooding. This flooding costed 6,000 lives, and some visitors the Hindu pilgrims of the temples. Just recently, on September 27th, in Ahmadabad 13 people were pronounced dead because of the monsoon flooding. Many families were forced out of their homes about 12,000-17,000 people. Some even took refuge in shelters located in Gujarat. Even after all of this destruction, in some parts of India there are being threaten to massive monsoon raining yet to come. Many aid workers who are trying to deliver food, and “other basic goods”, are blocked from getting to people who need it because of landslides. The impact is still felt today as they struggle to regain stability.
