Box 2100 1211 Geneva 2, Switzerland Tel: 41 22 791 6033 Fax: 41 22 791 6506 E-mail: [email protected] Appeal Coordinating Office India Floods in Bihar, India – ASIN84 Appeal Target: US$ 1,761,189 Geneva, 1 September 2008 Dear Colleagues, Over two million people are reported to be affected by floods in Bihar, India, the worst floods to hit this region in decades. A BBC report of 30 August notes that the death toll has risen to 70, and at least 124,000 people have been evacuated to safer grounds. The Save the Children Alliance reports that over 500,000 children have been put at risk. Information below has been received from ACT member Church’s Auxiliary for Social Action (CASA), which is in the process of mobilizing a substantial emergency response. The Kosi River, which gathers water from some of the highest mountains in Nepal, including Everest, and enters India in north Bihar, changed its course, and shifted over 120 km eastwards on 18 August 2008. In the process it has rendered useless more than 300 km of embankments that had been built to control its waters, and picked up a channel it had abandoned over 200 years ago. The effect has been enormous, inundating numerous towns and villages that were considered “flood safe areas”, and that had not seen such floods for decades It is a catastrophe far greater than the annual floods. People from various villages have taken shelter along the roads as most of their houses have been washed away in the flood waters. -
