The devastating floods sweeping Assam's Upper Assam region have exposed the humanitarian crisis unfolding in the state's tea gardens, with a pregnant worker delivering her baby inside a tea factory after rising floodwaters cut off access to a hospital.
Septuagenarian couple Mukul and Bonti Bezbora, along with many others in Assam's Sivasagar district, survived the devastating floods but lost all their belongings, now facing an uncertain future amidst widespread destruction and the daunting task of rebuilding.
A single night of deadly floods wiped out an entire village in Assam, leaving families without homes, cattle or hope.
The water rose from knee level to chest height within minutes before climbing even higher. Homes crumbled, cattle sheds collapsed and everything that could be carried away by the current vanished.
