Members of Action by Churches Together International are spearheading an emergency humanitarian response in India after several states were hit by deadly flash floods.

The states of Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, and Karnataka, as well as in Maharashtra and Assam, have been left in chaos after a depression over the Bay of Bengal triggered heavy rains last week.

At least 150 people have been killed by the flooding and thousands more have been displaced.
