“I am devastated, can only eat poison or hang myself,” said Siddheshwar Majhi, a West Bengal fisherman who lost everything after Cyclone Amphan ripped through many parts of the state on Wednesday. Majhi’s family, like many others in West Bengal, lost everything during the devastation caused by Cyclone Amphan, which hit the state at a time when people were already reeling under the current coronavirus crisis. We have no earnings for two months, but now after this cyclone, the roof is also lost,” Majhi said. “Even if you stay at home.you need food to stay alive, who will cook for us every day or help us with money.” Majhi said that now he has to either borrow or depend on the government to provided rice for surviving.
