Русская версияIn India's eastern Bihar state, about 70 people have died and more
than two million have been displaced by the country's heaviest
flooding in fifty years.
Officials say more than 300,000 people
have been rescued but nearly double that number remain stranded
without food or water. 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.
