Floods devastate farmers in India's Assam

STORY: "All the crops that were being farmed have gone under water, it's all been ruined," said Jahidul Islam, a farmer. "Nobody was able to harvest the crops and bring them home because all of it had already been submerged. It was raining continuously for three-four days. On the one hand, it was raining and on the other, there were floods. I cannot tell you how challenging it is for the people here."

On Wednesday (June 29), the Assam State Disaster Management Authority posted on Twitter saying that during the last 24 hours, 2,675 villages were affected by the floods.

This month, unprecedented rains have lashed India's north-eastern states and neighboring Bangladesh, killing more than 150 people.
