Flood water is going down but diarrhoea number is rising up. I was in a boat.... water in every where but not a single source of pure drinking water was found active, all had gone under water - no drop of water to drink. A recent news from ministry of health and family welfare stated that in last 24 hours about 1012 patients were admitted in International Centre for Diarrhoeal Disease Research, Bangladesh (ICDDR,B) - a centre for treatment of diarrhoea in Bangladesh.
People are trying to support government to help the affected peoples. Doctors of all fields, NGO workers, Bangladesh army, professionals, government officials and student volunteers - all are working together. Volunteers are making Oral rehydration salt (ORS) to supply among the poor peoples, distributing water purifying tablets and food.
Now the situation is under control but it may go beyond the control if diarrhoeal outbreak occur. Then the help from our friend countries will be needed.
