Asheville, United States - October 05, 2024

As the aftermath of Hurricane Helene continues to unfold in parts of southeastern United States, recovery efforts are hindered by extensive damage

As of now, more than 70 people are still missing in the Asheville area of North Carolina, and local emergency authorities said search and rescue efforts are still underway.

The cleanup and repair work are still underway a week after the hurricane wreaked havoc in Buncombe County. Traffic on the main road has largely resumed.

Although a week has elapsed, the ongoing shortage of water and outage of electricity continue to exacerbate the local crisis.

As of now, Helene has killed more than 200 people across six states, marking it as one of the deadliest storms to impact the United States.
