Situation Report: Earthquake Disaster
Survey for the Singaporean Medical team from 'Mercy Relief' to Sindhupalchok.
Tremor are quite less compared to past few days, today sensed 2-3 tiny quakes which may be the
magnitute of not more than 5 richter scale.
We left Banepa from 8.30 am with the team. In our team
were Rotarians, CDRA Nepal Volunteers, Rotractors and two
members from Mercy Relief, Michael and Carol Liew.
On either side of the road we could witness the devastation
of mud and stone houses. Even the concrete houses at places
were damaged beyond repair. People were on the road with
their belongings for survival, some were building the temporary shelter some were just siting in dismay.
Pictures taken on the way of destruction.
After reaching to health post of Melamchi, we came to know there Japanese team were busy erecting
the tent for the setup for check up for which we helped. We talked with a Nepali doctor there and
asked if he knew for the requirement of the Health Camp in any area
there. With his suggestion, we moved further to Chanaute where it was
said there could be the requirement. We reached Chanaute of
Sindhupalchok further north of Melamchi and walked for half an hour to
Mahankal (as the road was blocked by the rubbles of the damage which
was yet to be removed) looking for suitable place for the medical camp
so that if the camp is set the Mercy Relief people can check about 300
people in a day. We could not find any such places needy in large
number as 300 in a day. We doubted about the availability of the
patients seeking medical assistant in that number there. We heard there was a health camp so we went
to see the camp organized by NRNA. They were saying that they had started the camp from 7.00 am in
the morning it was 1.00pm when we were there, we could see some of the people seeking for the
medical help till that time. They had a mobile team for villages, they were doing a wonderful job
covering the remote area for bringing the injured people to the camp and if need be to the hospitals.
Mr. Michael talked with one person about the feasibility but
for the capacity of about 300 per day we did not see the
need of the specialist there. We then discussed about the
possibility at the local hospital at Dhulikhel since it had
already been 7 days of the disaster, and most needy were
airlifted (as reported by the locals) and some minor (fracture
bones and bruises) were taken by two wheelers and local
ambulances to the biger hospital to Dhulikhel Hospital and
Kathmandu.
Upon reaching to the Dhulikhel Hospital we talked with Dr. Rajendra Koju (Hospital Chief) and he was
requesting for the equipments (more hospital beds with blankets and sheets) and medicine.
