Monsoon Floods Force Evacuations in Prayagraj - India

Flood-affected residents of a low-lying area move their belongings to a safer place on the banks of the river Ganges following heavy monsoon rains in Prayagraj, India, on August 1, 2025. Seasonal downpours have caused the river to swell beyond its banks, inundating homes and disrupting daily life in several neighborhoods. Families wade through knee-deep water carrying essential items, while others transport household goods using makeshift rafts or carts. The annual monsoon, though vital for agriculture, often brings displacement and damage in flood-prone regions, exposing gaps in infrastructure and emergency preparedness. In Prayagraj, residents of informal settlements and riverside areas face particular vulnerability as rising waters threaten homes and livelihoods. Local authorities issue alerts as water levels continue to rise, prompting precautionary evacuations along low-lying zones near the Ganges. Photo by Sanjay Kanojia/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM
