A vigorous southwest monsoon left a trail of destruction across India’s southern state of Kerala, starting on 8 August, killing over 400 people and leaving over 220,000 people homeless.

The floods were the worst in 100 years. The high death toll is set to rise with reports of dengue fever, influenza, amoebic dysentery, malaria and other waterborne infections reaching unprecedented levels.

The British Pakistani Christian Association partnered with a local church to help 68 families by providing shelter and food to many Christians.
