For last 14 days the people are in very pitiable condition – suffering with malnutrition, dehydration and other water diseases, said MA Majid, a journalist visiting the camp. “The team of doctors from Owaisi Hospital has in last two days visited each person in the camp – mostly women and young children. In last 14 days only once a team of government doctors had come and only prescribed them medicines. From where will they buy medicines? They have come here saving their life with a piece of cloth on their body,” said Majid. People were given medicines and nutritious items.
