    What's the story

    A Mumbai-based NGO has started a campaign to collect food and other items to help the flood victims in Kerala.

    It has formed 12 collection centers across Mumbai where citizens can donate food, clothes and other items which would be sent to the flood-affected people, NGO Muse founder Nishant Bangera said.

    The items collected would be airlifted to Kochi by the Indian Air Force.

    Details

    Those willing to make donations can contact the NGO

    "We have collaborated with 'Anbodu Kochi', a Bengaluru -based organization that is sending relief material to Kerala," Bangera said.

    "We have two truck loads of material, like ready-to-eat food items, toiletries, medicines, and clothes," he added said.

    He said those willing to help the flood victims with food and other items could contact him on the mobile number: +91-9833500987.

    Damage

    357 people dead, 3.53 lakh in relief camps

    The Kerala floods have left 357 people dead since May 29, when the south-west monsoon hit the southern state, according to authorities.

    Over 3.53 lakh people are in 3,026 relief camps across Kerala after the rains savaged the state.

    More than 1,000 houses are fully destroyed and 26,000 suffered partial damage.

    Agriculture crops in over 40,000 hectares have been destroyed, the authorities said.

    PM reviews situation

    Officials said 134 bridges and 16,000km of roads were also completely destroyed, causing a loss of Rs 21,000 crore.

    PM Narendra Modi, who reviewed the Kerala flood situation at a high-level meeting in Kochi, yesterday announced an ex-gratia of Rs. 2 lakh per person to the kin of those killed and Rs. 50,000 to the seriously injured people from Prime Minister's National Relief Fund.
