Verified emergency facts
These snapshots were checked on 11 August. Flood levels, camp populations and damage assessments can change quickly.
The figure covers the wider flood period and does not mean everyone remained displaced on 11 August.
This provisional state update was reported on 10 August across 125 relief locations.
The state-wide toll included two additional deaths reported overnight and remained subject to official revision.
Why help matters now
Families returning home can face deep silt, destroyed belongings, unsafe water, damaged crops and the loss of livestock or income. Others still depend on relief camps, distribution points or relatives for shelter.
Bal Raksha Bharat and the Assam Foundation of North America both maintain active public flood appeals and report continuing relief work. Their published response plans include food, water, medical support, shelter materials, hygiene supplies and rehabilitation items.
