Families are struggling with damaged homes, lost crops and livestock, making this flood not just a natural disaster but also a humanitarian and economic crisis.

Farmers have been hit hard as thousands of hectares of fertile land have been destroyed. Fazilka reported over 41,000 acres damaged, while large losses have also been recorded in Kapurthala, Ferozepur, Hoshiarpur and Pathankot.
