Our hearts are heavy as we witness the devastation from Hurricane Harvey<\/a> in Southeast Texas and Louisiana and as Hurricane Irma<\/a> continues its path through the Atlantic as a Category 5 hurricane<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our prayers go out<\/a> to people affected by the flooding in Texas, and we also covet the prayers and support<\/a> of our partners as we walk alongside families on the road to recovery — a journey that has only just begun.<\/p>\n

But this summer has been a particularly hard season for flooding around the world, not just in the United States. As World Vision responds to the critical needs of flood-affected families in the U.S., we also continue to respond and pray<\/a> for those impacted in Bangladesh, India, Sierra Leone, Nepal, and China.<\/p>\n

Journey with us in photos as we look at how heavy rains, monsoons, tropical storms, and flash floods have impacted people around the world.<\/p>\n
