At least 31 people are dead and 165 are missing after a flood hit northern India on Sunday, February 7th. The flood was caused when part of a Himalayan glacier broke off and sent a wall of water and debris down a mountain, sweeping away everything in its path.
The floodwaters also damaged homes and villages that were following down on the line of the flood. Government officials air-dropped food packets and medicines to at least two flood-hit villages but there are still a lot of people and villagers who need help.
