”When I look around in the village where I am standing, virtually every building has been destroyed,” said Simon Burroughs, MSF’s Emergency Coordinator in Andhra Pradesh. “This place was hit by three or four metres of flood water, so people didn’t just have their homes destroyed, they also lost all their possessions. They had to leave at a moment’s notice in order to escape. A lot of livelihood has been wrecked, fisherman’s nets have been swept away, farmers’ fields have been completely destroyed.”
