On Wednesday 6 November, the Godavari Delta of Andhra Pradesh was hit by a high velocity hurricane, violent rains and 8 to 10 feet high tidal waves which, according to official sources, left more than 700 people dead and tens of thousands homeless. The East Godavari district was the worst hit , accounting for 70% of the total damage. Two villages - Bhairvapada and Bulusutippa in Eastern Godavari district -- were reportedly totally wiped out. The total population affected by this cyclone is estimated at seven million. As of 11 November, the Indian Coast Guard service was still searching for missing persons and Defence Force helicopters were providing food and water packets and medicines for the relief operations. In rural areas, dead bodies are being dug out from under the debris of collapsed houses and from deep mud left behind by the tidal waves. About 450,000 houses have been partially or completely destroyed, leaving tens of thousands without a roof over their heads. As of 13 November, more than 190,000 people were housed in 790 relief camps. |
