Hundreds of Christians, Hindus and Muslims are being given health care at a Christian post-flood medical camp in Pakistan.
The extreme 2022 monsoon flooding may be over, certainly in terms of secular media attention. But great pools of stagnant water still remain in three Christian villages -Poppat Colony, Ibrahim Khan Mari and Raja Khan Mari – where mosquitos have infected people with malaria and other water-related illnesses. Cases of other water-borne diseases, such as cholera, typhoid and dengue fever, are also prevalent, as is dysentery.
Most of the inhabitants of these villages became ill, but the only medical dispensary in the area was closed due to flood damage and no medical practitioner was nearby. But they were able to access free healthcare during a one day medical camp organised by the British Asian Christian Association (BACA).
