India monsoon floods Assam deaths Kerala relief camps Sri Lanka displacement climate change impact

Monsoon rains across India have caused more than 100 deaths since July, according to official data. The worst impact has been in Assam, where at least 87 people died, including 47 in the Sivasagar district. Kerala recorded at least 15 deaths, seven missing persons and more than 10,000 people sheltering in over 300 relief camps. In Indian‑administered Jammu and Kashmir, intense rain bursts killed at least 31 people, while lightning strikes in Jharkhand claimed at least 14 lives. Gujarat reported 35 flood‑related deaths and Himachal Pradesh’s landslides caused 14 deaths, bringing the state’s total to 15.

Neighbouring Sri Lanka also suffered severe monsoon flooding, with eight deaths and about 12,000 people displaced. Officials attribute the heightened severity to climate‑related changes in monsoon patterns.

State leaders, including Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma and Kerala chief minister V. D. Satheesan, have appealed for financial assistance and continue rescue operations as thousands remain evacuated.
