Floods can lead to a variety of health hazards, including waterborne diseases such as cholera, leptospirosis, and hepatitis due to contaminated drinking water. They can also cause injuries and fatalities from drowning, as well as increase the risk of vector-borne diseases like malaria and dengue fever due to stagnant water. Additionally, mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, may arise from the trauma and displacement caused by flooding. The disruption of healthcare services further exacerbates these health risks.
