An Update on Yaas Cyclone and the Project Breathe Consortium
In West Bengal, authorities said around 1,100 villages had been flooded by storm surges, leaving at least 50,000 homeless [source CNN] . “But the figure may rise as reports are yet to reach us from interior areas,”as reported by one of the state ministers.
The cyclone is an added disaster to the people battling the second deadly wave of Coronavirus in West Bengal and the Breathe consortium has already set up community kitchens in Sundarban and other parts of Medinipur to provide support.
