A family on the run …
8
Forced separation of families has taken place in areas where relief has been scarce…Dhirendra Lal, 42-years-old, is a father who has hitch-hiked over 20 kms. from a village called Chandrapuri with his son and two daughters. His wife has stayed back in the village with an infant daughter. He is now on his way to Gunou village, which is 10 kms away but for which he can find transport, to leave his children with his in-laws who live there. How has the trauma affected his family and the children? “The children scream at night,” Lal informs. Ankita, the elder of the two daughters, tells about her reaction to the floods. “I ran and ran and continued running. It felt as if the water was chasing me forever.” What does the boy Ankush need now, the most? “A home,” he replies, “somewhere where I can be safe from floods and stay with my parents.”

When the heavens wept…This 70-year-old widow received food & hygiene kits in Silli.
“What kind of aid do you want now?” She replied, “A place to stay. Though I have many relatives and friends around here who have known me for many years and who are kind to me, ultimately I will need a place of my own again, won’t I?”
