Dear fellow Indians and friends across the globe, the Kerala, a south Indian state, is going through massive floods and it's desperately looking for our help. More than 60 people are dead and over 60,000 people have left homeless.

Here is the current situation in Kerala and it's getting worse day by day.

Rain which started a week ago is still going at full force. Airports, hospitals, schools, residents and almost everywhere is flooded. People are still trapped in their own houses and relief centers are taking in more people by the minute. Rain hasn't stopped yet and water level is exponentially rising.

Here's how you can help those affected by the unprecedented floods in Kerala. Now you can make donations online to Chief Minister's Distress Relief Fund through the site, https://t.co/OFHTHlZ9by #KeralaFloods #StandWithKerala. pic.twitter.com/XNlBKqdCUT — CMO Kerala (@CMOKerala) August 14, 2018
