Millions have people have been displaced as major monsoons hit parts of Bangladesh, Nepal, and India over the past week. At least three million people have been forced to evacuate in parts of northern India alone, and the death toll, currently at over 100, is continuing to rise. “Many people have taken shelter on the highways, that will be the state for the next two or three weeks until the water recedes. Bihar [a region in the northern part of India] has better housing infrastructure, they will continue to stay in their houses or schools will operate as temporary relief shelters,” Mohamad Farukh, CEO of the NGO Rapid Response told TIME.
