Saptari flood victims face scarcity
Saptakoshi flood displaced, taking shelter by the side of Koshi River in Saptari, have complained that they are compelled to live under scarcity as the relief program has been largely focused on the displaced people of Sunsari. Around 30,000 people from flood hit VDCs, who fled to Saptari side, have been cut off from Sunsari as the flood water has deluged 4 km road section along the East-West Highway. Due to lack of food and clean water many people, especially children and women, have started to fall sick.
