"Everything washed away": Families suffer in rescue camps as Delhi houses are submerged by Yamuna floods

Near flood relief camps in Delhi, where many families displaced by the rising Yamuna are staying, women and children scramble to form a line to pick up their meals as soon as the food truck's horn sounds.While mounds of rescued items and plants uprooted by the floods are strewn in corners, strips of cloth tied to ropes run across the center of the camp, acting as temporary drying lines.At 8 a.m. on Friday, the Yamuna River's water level at Delhi's Old Railway Bridge was 207.31 meters.

The level was 207.35 meters at 6 am and dropped to 207.33 meters at 7 am, according to government data. Farmer Ram Kishan claimed that after his crops were damaged, his family was left without a source of income. Every one of my fields is now submerged. My family relied entirely on this year's produce, which is now gone," he stated.People are attempting to preserve what they can, as demonstrated during a tour of the Mayur Vihar Phase I relief camp. Poonam, a mother of a six-month-old child, faces a distinct kind of difficulty.
