Thousands return to damaged houses and submerged villages in Baladagelsh and Eastern India after Cyclone Amphan, the first super cyclone to start in the Bay of Bengal since 1999.

While authorities evacuated millions before the storm, shelters were not filled to capacity as a result of COVID-19 restrictions.  

Residents are returning to their homes now, and a full assessment of the damage and number of casualties will be recorded.
