Christian Aid has launched an emergency appeal in response to the devastating floods in Bihar, India. More than 2.5 million people have been affected and it's feared that thousands have died.

Please give generously so we can continue to provide assitance during this difficult time.
An initial £200,000 has already been released to help our partners respond but more money is urgently needed.

It will help them provide emergency food, medical assistance and long-term help to those affected.

Already the floods have displaced more people in India than the Boxing Day tsunami in 2004.

One partner, CASA, has offices in Bihar and through its network of field offices is feeding 5,000 people. It has extensive experience in working in emergencies.

Another, EHA, is looking after tens of thousands of people who are stranded on high ground: providing medical aid and taking measures to prevent the outbreak of water-borne diseases.

Your donation will help support our partners' vital work and help those most in need.
