Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind
Engaged in the Rehabilitation of Kerala’s horrific flood victims
Kerala is described as 'God’s own country' in India, with magnificent natural landscapes and fertile valleys. However, unprecedented summer Monsoon rainfall throughout June, July and August this year has left a wake of devastating floods across the state.
As floods and landslides have engulfed households and farmland, more than 375 have died (Reuters). A large majority of the people died due to landslides caused by the floods. Idukki and Wayand were the states most affected by landslides, with an estimated 1.2 million people now in temporary shelters. Total economic losses are estimated at 2.8 billion USD thus far and are likely to increase as recovery efforts continue.
DAMAGE TO CROPS
Large agricultural farms have been flooded, with estimated crop losses between 71 million to 101 million USD (The Times of India). Coffee, rubber, tea and black pepper are amongst some of the crops worst affected. In rural Kerala, many farmers may not be able to recover quickly enough to harvest any yield this season. Farmers in rural areas may also lack access to adequate insurance cover to aid their recovery process
JUH Response
On 25th of August 2018, Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind (JUH) has begun its relief work in the floods affected area of Kerala. JUH General Secretary, Maulana Mahmood Madani after consultation, divided the affected area into six zones including three in Kerala and remaining three in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka.
