Floods and landslides killed 1,200 people in three countries, and millions had to leave their homes. Torrential monsoon rains have destroyed tens of thousands of homes, schools and hospitals, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.

In the flooded areas, problems with the supply of food and water, water-borne diseases are already beginning, and thousands of hectares of farms have simply been washed off the face of the earth. Carrying out restoration work is almost impossible due to the incessant downpours.
