Rainfall 500 percent heavier than usual triggered the worst floods in the country, claiming over 1,200 lives, washing away swathes of vital crops and damaging or destroying more than million homes. About 33 million people were affected by the powerful floodwaters throughout the country as heavy monsoon rainfall since mid-June have led to more than a third of the country now being underwater.
