Said Imran Uddin (17) who received one of the family tents:.- With this tent I can protect my brothers and sisters while we are trying to rebuild our house. Most of the house is completely destroyed, only two rooms are standing up, but the walls have some serious cracks. I'm grateful for how the Red Crescent has been able to help us, with food very short time after someone were able to reach us, you know our house was surrounded by water for three days and my family and neighbours knew nothing about the damages outside. Now we know that our general store has been destroyed but we are trying to work it out together.. Distribution of relief goods to people affected by the flood. (p-PAK1199)Photo: Olav A.
