Impact Stories
Another Patient
Another patient, Alo who was also affected by the calamity, was included in the evacuation process. Currently, she remains in the care of her son and is steadily undergoing the recovery process. The natural disaster resulted in her sustaining injuries, including minor cuts on her arms and legs. She vividly described the extensive presence of water, which necessitated her elevating the cooking stove using four bricks to keep it above the flooded level. In an attempt to alleviate the flooding, she tirelessly operated the pump at five-minute intervals, simultaneously using a broom to maneuver the fish that had entered with the floodwaters. Unfortunately, this unintentionally caused blisters to form on her hand. The accumulation of water beneath the bed deprived all the patients of restful nights. Compounded by the collapsing pillars and roofs, she was gripped by concerns that the entire house might meet a similar fate 
Tripti, a long-term resident of Jibantala
Tripti, a long-term resident of Jibantala, has faced the brunt of various natural disasters over the course of almost 16 years. Tragically, during the flood incident, she found herself standing knee-deep in water for an extended period, resulting in a persistent infection that required an extensive healing process. Compounding the challenges, the damage inflicted on solar panels left the area devoid of light for multiple days. Furthermore, the entire stock of vegetables, which served as a crucial source of sustenance, had deteriorated. Amidst the flood, an influx of fish, snakes, and water inundated the vicinity, necessitating Tripti and the other patients to pump out the water. Eventually, due to the perilous presence of snakes, all the patients were evacuated from the area following this catastrophic event.
