The south Indian state of Kerala is currently experiencing its worst human crisis. Havoc came as torrential rains that flooded Kerala’s numerous rivers and backwaters. For the first time in the State’s history, 79 dams had to been opened, which caused further chaos. With hundreds of lives lost, thousands of homes destroyed, and millions of people displaced, the losses are simply incomprehensible. The flood displaced millions who are finding temporary solace in shelter camps across the State. They need fresh water, food, medicine and other basic amenities.

Indian diaspora in the US has collected donated items for the Kerala flood victims. We are requesting the Indian Embassy in Washington D.C., and the Indian Ambassador to the USA, Mr. Navtej Sarna to arrange facilities for free delivery of these goods to the flood victims of Kerala. We request quick action, as 1,000s are dying everyday.
