And our first stop is in Southern Asia, where massive flooding tied to monsoon1 season is soaking parts of Nepal, as well as areas of India and neighboring Bangladesh.
Heavy rains are typical in this region during August, which is when the monsoon rains blow in. But aide workers affiliated2 with the Red Cross say this season has been worse than usual, that some of the affected3 areas haven't seen flooding like this in decades.
Hundreds of people have been killed in floods and landslides4. Tens of thousands of homes have been damaged or destroyed, and with some communities completely cut off, the only way to get them help and supplies is by boat.
The waters are receding5 in Nepal and a government spokesman there says the situation is improving. Aide workers are on the lookout6 for diseases that can follow natural disasters like malaria7 and other bacterial8 infections. They can be spread through tainted9 water supplies and the lack of sanitation10.
Southern Asia is one of the wettest regions on the planet and many cities there were not properly built to account for flooding.
