BIHAR AND UP FLOODS

World Vision provided timely and immediate relief to those affected by the recent floods in UP and Bihar by distributing seven-day ration packs to more than 11000 families. World Vision also distributed Oral Rehydration Salts (ORS) and Halozone tablets and bleaching powder to prevent the spread of disease.

In Bihar, World Vision's relief including food and non-food items have reached another 4000 families, bringing the number of flood-affected families being helped by the organization in the month of August and September to 24,555.

World Vision continues to work with the government in the flood-affected areas, mobilising relief to the vulnerable sections of the population.
