Floods in India

Heavy rains in India resulted in a flood that killed at least 17 people, washed away thousands of homes, and forced the evacuation of at least 2 million people.  In Northern India most rivers are flowing above the danger mark.  Relief organizers say relief camps are being setup while army helicopters are dropping food and water for people stranded in remote villages. 
Unexpected rainfall is affecting many different parts of the world today.  This image really shows how these people are managing with this flood and it is very sad.  So many people are without homes.  I am glad to hear that there are relief camps and food and water is being distributed to some of the remote villages.
