phfadminBringing back life to the residents of Deewan Shah Village of District Harnai, Balochistan
Oct 07 was a warm day in Deewan Shah – a small village in District Harnai. It was a Thursday, and people were sound asleep when their lives were changed suddenly.
Around 3 am a jolt of 5.9 with the depth of 9 KM, followed by an aftershock of 4.9 with a depth of 12 KM hit the district and left the devastating circumstances for the population.
Bibi Sabra is one of those among people who has severely hit by the devastating earthquake. She lives with her sister and has no source of income as they mostly rely on Zakat by the family and relatives. Since a long ago, she has been suffering permanent disability and her sister takes care for her all sort of needs.
“I was very afraid to go inside the house and worried about how to survive day to day life, But I am thankful to Muslim Aid Pakistan who are helping us in the rehabilitation of our house, provided food and non-food items”.
Sabra was asleep when the earthquake hit the town. When she woke up, was shaken and couldn’t went out of the house. Everything around her was shaking and then heard of the things collapsing down “I was afraid if the dooms-day has come “, says Sabra.
Her house is still standing, but just barely. “I was very afraid to go inside the house and worried about how to survive day to day life, But I am thankful to Muslim Aid Pakistan who are helping us in rehabilitation of our house, provided food and non-food items”.
Also, the wheelchair has been provided to Sabra so that she can live life with less dependency and more dignity. Where this earthquake left hundreds of injured people and thousands of households affected, it left the fact more dominant that District Harnai is one of the poorest districts of the country with the lack of infrastructure and administrative facilities.
