There are long lines of men lined up in some of the northern affected cities. They are lined up in hope that they are eligible for financial assistance from the government. Their homes have been destroyed, their families killed or displaced, their livelihood remains uncertain. A young boy came to the hospital with his mother. He had multiple fractures of his femur and tibia/fibula. He couldn't stay in this hospital though. As it turns out, his mother died in the earthquake, his father is 200 km away and his aunt, who is with him, needs to go back to her home, to be with her five children. He has nobody else.
Many people talk about why the earthquake has happened. Why did it happen to them? Why did it destroy so much? Why are they having so much suffering? A said today, ‘It is obvious. We deserved it. We have sinned and not followed our faith as we should have.'
