Assam, in northeast India, is enduring its worst flooding in six decades. Rainfall up to 490% above normal has swollen the Brahmaputra river and its many tributaries, submerging villages across the state. At least 68 people have died in the past four weeks — 58 in the past week alone — and around 40 remain missing. More than 600,000 people are affected, with tens of thousands living in relief camps. Whole villages have been cut off, and families have lost everything they own: one mother and her seven-year-old son survived a night clinging to a mango tree as the waters rose around them. We pray for the displaced and the grieving of Assam, and for the rescue teams, relief workers and all those with the power to send aid — that the waters may recede and every family find shelter, comfort and the strength to rebuild.
