"When the storm hit it was terrible – we could hear banging and crashing outside and the walls shook…it seemed to last forever although it was all over in 15 minutes. There were a thousand people in the shelter and we all had to stand because there was no room to sit."

Abbas

Abbas, 11, India “My job is to catch fish. When the floods come I still go fishing though it can be dangerous. I catch fish for the whole family. Sometimes when the floods come, we are asleep and it’s dangerous. Snakes and leaches come with the water and there are more mosquitoes and insects.”
