More air drops for flood victims
NEW DELHI -- Air drops of food and other aid will resume to flood victims in northern India right away, officials said, following violent riots over a lack of assistance.
Devastating monsoon floods have laid waste to much of South Asia in recent weeks, killing more than 2,000 people and displacing millions. At least 34 more deaths were reported yesterday in India, while a violent storm killed 22 people in Pakistan.
Meanwhile, the United Nations warned that Bangladesh could face acute food shortages as the floods destroyed hundreds of thousands of hectares of crops.
