Flooding has affected more than 1,000 villages in 13 districts of north Bihar। This has caused large-scale displacement। The Indian government says it expects up to two million people will be impacted by the disaster।The flooding started after the Kosi River broke a dam in Nepal and breached mud embankments in Bihar State in India a week ago. The Indian government has set up about 155 relief camps to shelter thousands of homeless people. these camps is very bad, and as the number of people there grows, she says the risk of diseases will rise."The weather is extremely hot, which is exacerbating the conditions," . "The hygiene conditions are very bad, the hand pumps for clean drinking water are not good enough. Sanitation facilities - people are defecating in open spaces. This is obviously extremely risky in terms of spreading disease. And, we already have heard cases of fever and diarrhea have been reported. So, the immediate priority certainly as far as बिहार सरकार concerned is to deliver life-saving supplies of medicine, food, clean drinking water and access to proper sanitation."
