Русская версияIn India's eastern Bihar state, about 60 people have died and more
than 2 million have been displaced by the country's worst flooding
in fifty years.
More than 300,000 people have been rescued but
nearly double that number remain stranded without food or water,
officials say. The Kosi river breached its banks earlier this month
on the border with Nepal and changed course, swamping hundreds of
villages in eastern Bihar state. The government said the situation
was unlikely to return to normal for months. UNICEF warned of the
disease risk in congested relief camps.
