Flood victims
M.S.S. student, Dept. of Government & Politics, JU
The plight of flood-affected people is getting worse day by day. Thousands of them have been marooned. Some of them are living at the flood shelters and under the open sky. Many of them are getting infected with water-borne diseases. Floods have rendered them unemployed and homeless. Thousands of hungry faces have been waiting for relief materials for a long time. But the relief materials supplied by the government are not sufficient. Immediately they need dry foods, water purifying tablets, medicine and baby foods. It is a matter of great concern that flood affected infants are not getting adequate milk and baby foods. The government sponsored relief materials are too inadequate. They need more relief for their survival. Various organisations, humanitarian bodies, NGOs as well as international agencies should come forward to help the flood victims. Shaila Solaiman
