Residents Stranded as Yamuna River Floods Rise
Flood-affected residents of a low-lying area stand on their rooftop on the banks of the Yamuna River in Prayagraj, India, on August 3, 2025, as water levels rise following continuous monsoon rains. The annual monsoon season brings critical rainfall to northern India, but also triggers frequent flooding, especially in vulnerable low-lying regions. Rising river levels force families to seek shelter on rooftops or evacuate their homes. The floods disrupt daily life, damage property, and pose health risks due to waterborne diseases and lack of clean water. Local authorities often struggle to provide timely relief and evacuation assistance. Scenes like this reflect the ongoing challenges of climate vulnerability and urban planning in flood-prone zones, highlighting the human cost of extreme weather patterns intensified by climate change.
