During this crisis, our flood relief camps and efforts became a source of hope for flood-hit families. Approximately 57,500 flood victims received free first aid, consultations, diagnostic tests, and medicines for treatable illnesses. Many families had lost their homes, so tents, mosquito nets, and blankets were provided to protect them from the cold. We also distributed water bottles among the affected families. These camps extended relief to numerous flood victims across the country. Preventive Healthcare Sessions Besides providing free healthcare services and essential relief items, preventive healthcare sessions were conducted at these camps to raise awareness about scabies, skin allergies, malaria, waterborne diseases, and other common health issues that had become widespread due to flooding and poor hygiene conditions. Flood victims were educated about symptoms, prevention, and basic management of these illnesses. These sessions helped communities adopt healthier practices and improve their quality of life.
