Bihar Flood Relief Appeal by People to People Health Foundation (PPHF)
Flood-affected families urgently need relief and essential health services.
The 2026 Bihar Floods: A Growing Humanitarian Crisis
Severe monsoon flooding has affected communities across Bihar, disrupting homes, livelihoods, agriculture, education, healthcare, water and sanitation services. Floodwaters have affected approximately 48.70 lakh people across 15 districts, with 575 Gram Panchayats across 88 blocks impacted. While floodwaters are beginning to recede in parts of the state, severe riverbank erosion and potential structural failures continue to pose risks to affected communities. Standing crops across approximately 1 lakh hectares have been affected, impacting around 35.89 lakh people across 491 Gram Panchayats.
Families are facing disruptions to essential services, loss of livelihoods, damaged homes and limited access to food, safe water, healthcare and basic household supplies.
PPHF is closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with local partners to mobilize urgent support for the most affected.

- Continuing extended health services through periodic medical camps.
- Setting up platforms for psychosocial counselling and community preparedness for future disasters.
