The more than 2 million people hit by the disaster are now eating uncooked rice and flour mixed with polluted water in a bid to stave off hunger.

The Kosi river burst a dam in neighbouring Nepal earlier this month and surged into Bihar state, swamping village after village as authorities failed to evacuate millions on time.

At least ten more people drowned overnight, raising the toll to 65, as the rising river waters smashed embankments and flooded vast areas in the eastern state, officials said.

More than a quarter of a million houses have been destroyed in distant villages in Bihar and millions of people have no means to cook food.

Thousands of people, with all their belongings on their heads, walked away from their flooded homes through narrow and submerged roads. Many children rode on cows and buffaloes.

"We've lost our homes, we've lost our clothes, we've lost everything ...," said Bijender, a villager walking along a road with his child.

"We are taking our children and leaving and we don't even know where we are going."

Water levels continued to rise amid heavy rains. The water could stay for around three months, increasing the risk of water-borne diseases.
