How Floods have Effected Human Beings and Wildlife

Floods are a natural calamity that ruins houses, wildlife, crops and takes life of many people as well. People were already suffering from COVID 19 and the floods made it even more worse this year. The people were not safe inside their houses as well.  Floods forced everyone to come outside their houses and gather in a single place or ask for help. The condition of the people had become very miserable and the government came forward to help them in these tragic times.  They tried their best to help the people by providing them food and shelter so that they are not rendered homeless. There were many non-governmental organizations that came forward and helped the people in times of need and emergency.  It is really saddening to see the situation that has taken over the world and we can only hope and pray that things are returned to their complete normal self so that everybody can leave peacefully and comfortably.
