More than 800,000 people have been rescued after flood defences on India’s Kosi river failed and vast areas of Bihar state were flooded. Some survivors were trapped on rooftops without food or clean water for two weeks. About 50,000 to 100,000 people are still trapped, 100 have died and 300,000 homes have been destroyed.
In Nepal, 50,000 people were left homeless and Assam was also affected by the monsoon.
The Kosi is expected to flood again later this month. (AFP)
