Following severe flooding in Prayagraj and Varanasi, communities are coping with health crises—mosquito-borne diseases like dengue and malaria are rising, along with snakebites and waterborne conditions. Local residents recount loss of homes, contaminated water, and traumatic exposure to corpse-strewn waters during peak flooding The Times of India. 

Even with ongoing attempts to minimize and control larvae, stagnant water is still common and poses long-term health hazards. Over 21,000 homes affected in locations like Karamat Ki Chowki highlight the immense scope of impact. 

NGOs, local groups, and NDRF teams are providing aid and relief, but the rebuilding phase poses new mental health, financial, and sanitation challenges—requiring long-term coordinated response to address physical and emotional recovery.
