أعلنت السلطات الهندية أمس (الثلاثاء) أن أكثر من مليون شخص تم إيواؤهم في مخيمات أقيمت للمهجرين في ولاية كيرالا، في جنوبي البلاد، التي ضربتها أمطار موسمية عنيفة أسفرت عن سقوط أكثر من 410 قتلى.

وقدرت السلطات المحلية قيمة الخسائر بـ3 مليارات دولار، وهو مبلغ يرجح أن يرتفع مع انحسار المياه الذي يكشف حجم الأضرار.


وكشف انحسار المياه تدريجيا بسبب تراجع غزارة الأمطار، حجم الدمار في هذه المنطقة التي تشكل وجهة للسياح في المواسم الأخرى. وقال المتحدث باسم الحكومة سوباش تي في، إن عدد الأشخاص المقيمين في المخيمات الإنسانية بلغ الآن مليونا و28 ألف شخص. وعثر رجال الإنقاذ أمس الأول على 6 جثث أخرى، لترتفع بذلك حصيلة الضحايا إلى أكثر من 410 قتلى منذ أن بدأت في يونيو الأمطار الموسمية التي تعد الأكثر غزارة منذ قرن.
