Help Us Rebuild Lives After Cyclone Montha | ActionAid Association
Cyclone Montha has left a trail of destruction across the coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh, bringing heavy rains, flooding, and widespread devastation. The worst affected are low-income families, daily-wage workers, fisherfolk, women-headed households, tribal communities, persons with disabilities, and the elderly — people whose lives and livelihoods were already fragile.
Homes, crops, and livelihoods have been washed away. Many families are now displaced, taking refuge in makeshift shelters, struggling to find safety, food, and dignity amid the ruins.
The Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh has conducted an aerial visit of affected districts on 29th and then reviewed loss and damages. The Chief Minister’s Office has shared that the cyclone impacted 18 lakh people across 249 mandals/blocks, 1,434 villages and 48 municipalities in the state. Crops such as paddy, cotton, maize and black gram suffered damage across more than 59,000 hectares, affecting 78,796 farmers. Damage worth up to Rs. 36 crore was reported in rural water supply, and more than Rs.16 crores in irrigation works..
The Government of Andhra Pradesh has initiated immediate relief measures for Cyclone Montha affected families. The Chief Minister has directed that Rs 3,000 be provided as financial assistance along with 25 to 50 kg of rice to affected families – especially affected fisherfolk families and weavers.
