Raxaul Floods

Thursday, 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.
