Field update from Dharmendar
Camp in Saharsa (coordinated by Dharmendar, Sanjay, Manoj Kumar, Umesh)
Yesterday our team covered Triveniganj block, situation there is terrible as around 300 villages have been completely wiped off from the map. Approximately 3 lakh people have been living in camps in Saharsha where our team has distributed following material in 15 panchayat namely Jadiya, Koripaati etc
- 10 quintal Chura
- 15 quintal Chana
- Around 2000 packets of dalmot and biscuits
In Saharsha camp they are distributing powdered milk to small children around 1000s in number every morning, providing dinner consisting of Dal, Chawal and Soyabeen sabji to around 1000-2000 people.
Situation in camp is extremely bad since children don't have utensil to drink milk and they are using plastic bags to drink it. There are many small infants less than 2-3 months who don't have any thing to drink.
Our team has also arranged for a Dr Rajeev Nandan Verma who has inspected around 750 patients yesterday. We are also helping IMA (Indian Medical Assocation) in running their medical camp. Today, we have sent following material with one of our team heading by Gamesh Manav to Madhepura

- 10 quintal Sattu
