At least 50 people killed and 700,000 displaced by India floods after monsoon rains
Heavy monsoon rains have caused severe flooding in India's northeastern Assam state, resulting in at least 50 deaths and displacing 700,000 people. The Brahmaputra River overflowed, inundating nearly 900 villages, destroying homes, and forcing approximately 300,000 individuals into government relief camps. Authorities are providing food and supplies, including helicopter airdrops, and rescue efforts are underway by police, disaster teams, and volunteers. The flooding has also impacted Assam's capital, Guwahati, disrupting transportation. Experts attribute the intensifying monsoon rains to human-caused climate change.
