Raxaul Floods
August 2nd, 2007
India has a number of major floods going on at the moment.
One of which is in Raxaul where I spent some time in 2004. One of my friends from there sent me some photos of the damage and the work. Duncan Hospital where I stayed in 2004 has been damaged by the floods and currently surgeries are continuing knee deep in water according to one of the reports I have received. The hospital staff despite the inconvenience they are facing with leaking roofs and water damage are reaching out to the local community.
The photos below give you some idea of the level of flooding.
If you are the praying type then please send up a prayer or two for those in the floods in Bihar and Assam.
Hi David.
I am from Ireland. I too have been to Raxaul - to Duncan Hospital and Duncan Academy back in 1999. We have been supporrters of the school for some time and good friends with Sam and Victoria - Sam is school principal. I have been following their difficult days with this rain. We also have three student doctors from here in Duncan at the moment. I have not heard how they are doing this week. Thank you for sharing the photos. I wish I could return but illhealth means I can now only help from a distance with their website etc.
God bless.
David
