2nd October

All these dead bodies and animals were found lying on farm land. We happened to see all these bodies exactly on the 50th day of the flood, affected in Mirjawa village of Supaul district. The whole village was stinking with dead body smell. We saw two human dead bodies and nearly dozen of cattle dead in the same village. We immediately reported it to nearby villagers to remove them. The people replied that they witnessed hundreds of dead bodies and cattle that washed away from their own village during flood and they removed many such unknown bodies.

We went to Maktab in Tirveniganj, were 182 Muslim families have taken shelter in a primary school. These families are the residents from Koriapatti, Manganj, Gudia, Barakhurwa, and Dopaharka Panchayat. We served milk and biscuit to 200 children at 7am.

We reached Thitvaha village, were we came to know that more than 1500 families displaced from Lagunia, Mirjawa and Jarkahe villages built tents themselves and they are yet to receive any relief from government. We included this settlement area in our relief list.

Around 1pm we reached Shivnagar with great difficulty. The roads were tattered. It was lunch time in the relief camp. About 300 Children were served first with rice and dal. We interacted with the school headmaster and knew that nearly 530 families and 4 children had died in the past one month due to severe dioheria. We gave 5 packets containing 500 halogen tablets. On that day we came across a child suffering from severe dioheria and vomiting. We immediately took him to the Govt. Referral Hospital situated 25 kms away from that village.

We visited Govt. Mega camp in Malhanva. The camp strength was approximately 10,500 people, in which 2,500 were children. The camp was under the supervision of the army which, provided tents to people and were asked to share among two families. This camp is been supported by UNICEF especially for child care. The camp had decent facility of medical care, SSA school, telephone booth, drinking water, training centre, toilet & sanitation. People were given new set of cloths, plate, and glass. Some people started petty shops in camps, with the left out items.
