India Flood Relief

In southeastern India, villagers whose homes were destroyed or damaged by flooding receive CRS-funded plastic water jars, water purification tablets, pots pans, tarps, rope, and more. Severe flooding struck in early October, 2009. “The water rose from my feet to my waist in five minutes,” says one survivor. Most fled to higher ground, and evacuation centers like railway platforms, with only the clothes they were wearing. Photo by Laura Sheahen/CRS
