Why help matters
Flooded communities need safe water and continuity of care
Children and families need clean water, sanitation, health and nutrition services, safe shelter, learning continuity and protection while floods disrupt essential infrastructure.
Continuing rain, damaged roads and a large funding gap can delay assistance and leave displaced households exposed to preventable illness and further disruption.
