At least 114 people have been killed in northeastern India and Bangladesh after heavy monsoon rains led to heavy flooding and landslides.

The death toll in the Indian northeastern state of Assam increased to 82, with 11 more deaths on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, in Bangladesh, the number of deaths has risen to 32.

More than 4.8 million from the 32 district of Assam have been affected.

This was one of the worst floods to hit the region in several decades.

More than 231,000 people from the low-lying areas have been evacuated and placed in over 1,000 makeshift relief camps.

The severe flood brought down mobile towers, power lines and washed away roads.

Last month Assam and Arunachal Pradesh witnessed floods and mudslides that killed dozens and damaged fields of crops.

UNICEF has already dispatched 400,000 water purification tablets that can support 80,000 households with clean water for a week.
