I am deeply touched by the recent sufferings of people of Pakistan due to flood . The total number of people affected are more than the grand total of the people affected in 2004 Andaman Tsunami , 5 million ,three million each inearth quakein Pakistan 2005 and earth quake in Haiti 2010 .Current report suggests approximately 20 million people are affected and already 1500 people succumbed to death . UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said this is the worst disaster he has ever seen and strongly urged the world to step up its assistance. Approximately 750,000 homes have been damaged, and 2.6 million acres of cropland, along with roads and bridges, are destroyed, which makes availability and delivery of essential goods difficult..
We know what is flood . If some one can escape flood s/he is to fight with hunger . If hunger is negotiated one needs to encounter post floodwater borne diseases. When world community responded spontaneously in other human catastrophe response in this case is not that that satisfactory . I read Anjelina Joli donated 100000 USD . In our subcontinent we have many reach people . I hope they will come forward to save the humanity . Today it is in Pakistan next time it could be in our country . I wish more communities and individual will come forward to provide helping hand to these sufferer people .
The city where I work and live is the second largest of my country. It is a metropolitan city. In one side there are high rise buildings,lucrative shopping malls in another side slums and poverty . A small section of the people finding it difficult how to spend money where as majority is fighting to survive. Cost of living is going very high specially cost of health support .Limited state run hospitals cannot support all the patients. Private hospitals are beyond the reach of commons. We need specialized medical centers likeChittagong Eye Infirmary . Where mass people can get treatment with minimum cost. More than anything else we need a cardiac center badly . Though we have some facility still people are running for India,spending huge amount. If we could have a cardiac center at Chittagong people would have been immensely befitted. We Bangladeshis have long tradition of charity . I sincerely wish and pray that some noble person will come forward to establish a non profitable cardiac center at Chittagong
