| Description |
Nekbakhat, aged 50, had to flee her home with her husband and five children in the middle of the night when the flood came in August 2010. "Before the flood I was happy here. The water came in the middle of the night. It was difficult to escape in the dark. We were holding onto each other and crying." "It is good now that we have clean water here again. Since we came back we had to go to the next village to get water, so now it is a little easier. The hygiene training has also been good, and it means that now there is no disease in the village". "The problem now is that we cannot grow rice or wheat to eat, not even fodder for the animals, as our fields are still flooded. The water is taking a long time to drain away". Nekbakhat's village is one of hundreds that are being helped to recover from the disaster by the NGO Mercy Corps, with the support of funding from the British government's Department for International Development. Mercy Corps have installed clean water pumps and basic sanitation in the village, to help meet people's basic needs as they return home after the flood waters subside.
