Flood Relief work by Goonj : PAN India

Natural disasters are worsening the COVID19 situation. Cyclon Amphan hit West Bengal and Odisha, Cyclone Nisarga hit Maharastra, Assam & Bihar got devastated by floods and now its Hyderabad. Goonj’s local team are working on ground to restore the situation by providing immediate relief and also planning a long term rehabilitation.

Cyclone Amphan is the strongest storm ever recorded in the Bay of Bengal. The cyclone produced winds as high as 185 km per hour and waves  up to 5 mt height. Amphan has forced million across West Bengal and Orissa to be evacuated for safety.

While the whole world is under the grip of Covid-19,  West Bengal & Orissa are hit by Amphan cylone adding more distress and work to already distressed health care workers.

Since 1999 Amphan is the first super cyclone to form in the Bay of Bengal. South and North 24 Parganas and East Midnapore were very badly hit. Sunderbans, the mangroves spread over an area of more than 10,000 square kilometres  were badly affected.

West Bengal has faced Rs. 1 lakh losses due to the cyclone. Many farmlands were contaminated with sea water and it will take years to grow in the farms.

Goonj like every time has started its relief operation in cyclone Amphan affected areas. We need you to stand with West Bengal.
