Remote areas reached

In addition to providing emergency supplies and trauma care to the survivors taking shelters in various camps, the Art of Living is also reaching out to more inaccessible areas. It has started a new relief camp in Jadiabazar in the Suppol district. So far no relief from any agencies has reached the people marooned in the area. With nearly a 40km stretch leading to the area still submerged under water, the area remains largely inaccessible. It’s only after 2-hour boat rides that the Art of Living volunteers are able to reach the area. The volunteers are helping the survivors get back to life by providing food grains and cooking utensils, alongside trauma care.

Teams of volunteers, including doctors, have also reached the remote and submerged villages in Madhepura. A team reached the remote Batani area on September 8 and over 2,000 people housed in the camps are being attended to. The Art of Living is also taking care of 2000 people, including 24 pregnant women and 250 children, who have taken shelter at the Meerganj camp, providing baby foods, clothes and dry foods. Other villages reached are Kumarkhand, Ratanpura, Lakshmipur, Jogwada, Rehta and Murliganj.
