Goth sajjan Mirwani is completely under flood waters and the entire village is submerged rendering 502 people homeless. They have taken shelter in Girls Middle School. Union Council Building and vocational centre, and primary school Fareedabad.
Over 2,000 patients were examined and fifteen hundred families were given relief goods and ration consisting of rice, sugar, daal, tea, powder milk, biscuits and matches.
The damage done by the floods is colossal and the water will take months to dry. People have lost all their belongings and cattle heads, medical aid foundation team had to go to the villages by boat as there was no other access to the people who were looking weary emaciated and weak. The worst were the women and children as they were suffering from malnutrition. Immediate help in required in Fareedabad and Mehr and its adjoining villages as gastro-enteritis, skin infection and malaria was rampant. Major health problem is being faced due to lack of clean drinking water. People are using the flood water for drinking purposes causing stomach and liver diseases to rise. The medical aid foundation plans to set up relief and medical camp on all weekend till December, 95. to provide succor to the suffering humanity.
MAF is grateful to Matiari Sugar Mills, Agha Super Market, Haji Amin Zakaria, and Ms Mehrun Nisa Tai for dry ration and ASWA for medicine and clothes. |
