HUMANITARIAN APPEAL: KASHMIR FLOOD RESPONSE [India]
on 8 September 2014
The incessant rains in the State of Jammu & Kashmir have led to heavy flooding; thereby impacting the lives of more than 1,75,000 people across 19 districts. The massive floods have submerged 450 villages, while 2500 villages are severely affected. The floods have swept away the houses of more than 30% of the population who lived on the river’s path. While the rural poor are the worst affected, the urban poor and middle class families are also struggling for basic amenities such as safe drinking water, hygiene, communication and road access. With roads and bridges severely flooded and damaged, several families are still stranded on the rooftops.
SEEDS, a humanitarian organization, plans an emergency response to meet the immediate needs of 1000 FAMILIES and 20 SCHOOLS of Jammu and Kashmir.
