HOMES AND LIVELIHOODS LOST
This man was rescued by fishermen as water reached the roof of his home. He says he and his family now live at a government camp for displaced people but return to their home daily to clean it bit by bit. More than 30 percent of flood-damaged homes had been cleaned by 25 August, allowing thousands of people to return from camps, a tweet by the chief minister’s office stated. Families will receive 10,000 INR (about $142) from the state government to help with rebuilding and clean-up costs. - Credits Shawn Sebastian/IRIN
