EID @ Muzaffarabad
October 26, 2006
Pakistani Kashmiri earthquake survivor children raise their hands to receive Eid gifts outside a tent in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistani-administered Kashmir, 23 October 2006, ahead of the Muslim religious festival of Eid al-Fitr. Muslims in Pakistan are due to celebrate Eid al-Fitr on 24 October, marking the end of the Muslim fasting holy month of Ramadan. The 7.6-magnitude quake on 08 October 2005 killed more than 74,000 people and left 3.5 million homeless

Smile for Me

This is great. Loved the rare smiles and hopeful tries of these people’s struggles to put themselves together.

I have been to various hospitals and wards and seen many patients but never have I found such silence and agony on the faces of these earthquake victims. Even we would sleep at 8-9′O clock with soft whispers or silent thoughts. A typical doctor’s attendance in those days was around 400 which is mighty frustrating and mind-boggling in normal circumstances. And two weeks later when we returned, the only thought that kept our minds occupied was “was it all enough? Did we really do enough?” To this day, I couldn’t find the answer.

All Together

I only remember some moans or sighs when we were told that some 80-100 students are buried in these few graves. There were YET some children buried in the concrete rubble which couldn’t be lifted despite many people’s endless tries.
Why, you ask me, these children didn’t get buried in separate graves with names and all that???Ask me…
And before you ask me, ask from yourself what the answer could be.
The answer was not so complicated as it may sound but the dead-bodies that got recovered were so badly damaged after 4-6 days’ of EarthQuake that there was NO WAY someone could recognise them and then there weren’t even proper bodies there.
We, normal healthy human beings, with all our minds and hearts intact couldn’t even stand there without our masks after 10 days. Then, who digged the rubble and destroyed school and recovered those damaged bodies?
Ironically, the same Mullahs and fundamental muslims with beards and some 20somethings who were there before Government or anyone else and digged day and night until they were sure they couldn’t dig anymore.
