India's flood victims on the move

The floods were caused when the river Kosi deviated its course in northern Bihar and it is expected to be a while before things return to normal. Officials say more than three million people have been displaced and at least 90 killed by floods after the Bihar's 'river of sorrow' burst a dam in Nepal, swamping hundreds of villages in the state and destroying 100,000 hectares (250,000 acres) of farmland.
