Record-breaking rainfall in July and August 2026 have caused devastating floods and life-changing damage. Infrastructure has been overwhelmed, with roads, bridges, homes, and farmland being destroyed. In the state of Gujarat alone, 40,000 people have been evacuated from their homes. Meanwhile, in the state of Odisha, thousands of acres of farmland were submerged, spelling disaster for agricultural communities’ livelihoods. Far to the north in Jammu & Kashmir, hundreds of mountain-dwelling communities are without electricity or clean water.

India’s 2026 flood damage has spanned across multiple states in many regions of India. Here is a glimpse of what the destruction has looked like in select states:

Assam

Some of the most significant damage caused by recent flooding is in the northeastern state of Assam. More than 705,000 people were affected by heavy flooding and overflowing rivers that damaged homes, flooded farms, and claimed over 70 lives. Over 900 villages were submerged, and 7,000 homes lost electricity. 3 projects were affected, and one Adult Literacy teacher lost her home.

Gujarat

Over 40,000 people have been evacuated from their homes amid heavy rainfall. Rain-related incidents claimed 14 lives in July. All programs were paused for multiple days at a time for the safety of learners, children, and local believers.

Kerala

Heavy rainfall caused flooding and landslides that claimed 21 lives at the beginning of August. Many villages remain flooded, with a staggering 31 projects affected.

Nagaland

Rainfall measured at 181% above expected in Nagaland, causing severe flooding and landslides that took 11 lives from mid-July to the beginning of August.

Jammu & Kashmir

Continuous and heavy rainfall over three districts in Jammu & Kashmir resulted in flash floods and landslides that claimed more than 27 lives in July.
