Cyclone Amphan hits West Bengal
The people of West Bengal have been dealt another devastating blow as the full force of Cyclone Amphan hit yesterday.
We are waiting to hear how the cyclone has affected our beneficiaries and their whole communities in the villages near Kolkata, but with power cables and mobile networks down, news is sporadic.
Our colleagues based in Kolkata have sent these photos of the damage caused in the city and we can only imagine how much more devastation will have been caused in the villages and to the crops and livestock the farmers depend on for the their livelihoods.
