Hundreds of residents whose homes were recently flooded are stuck at rescue centres, even as leaders seek a long-term solution. The most affected are the elderly, the disabled, women and children.

The floods destroyed houses, washed away crops, cut off roads and left hundreds without food. The residents also risk contracting waterborne diseases.
