VRINDAVAN – The continuing flooding along the Yamuna, 20 feet higher than usual in some locations, has forced many Vrindavan families to flee their homes or find themselves living on rooftops. “Trapped and losing everything, they face unimaginable hardship without food, medical aid, electricity, and water, clinging to hope on 2nd & 3rd floors,” said Food For Life Vrindavan.
Cooked kitchari and food ration packages are being quickly assembled and distributed to residents. Supplies include water, rice, flour, cooking oil, and other staples. Because of the high flood waters, supplies have to be transported from vehicles to boats to reach those most in need. Dangerous hanging electrical wires now just above the flood waters made food distribution especially treacherous. You can view the latest FFLV video here.
Despite numerous challenges, the Food for Life Vrindavan team has reached many stranded families, some trapped for up to six days without access to food, clean water, and electricity.
