HELP PAKISTAN

Escaping the Flood: A Story from Pakistan

It was July 25th, and I was on my way back home to Lower Dir in the Swat valley. Lush green rice fields and shiny clean newly constructed restaurants and huts along the right bank of River Swat were an enriching and peaceful sight. After a challenging five years period of terrorism, militancy, and consequent displacement of a massive number of villagers, I was pleasantly surprised to see reconstruction almost completed.

It’s hard to imagine now that was only three weeks ago.

It rained for the next three days continuously and heavily. The beautiful dense forests and high mountains and countless streams of my hometown could not stand it – the streams and rivers overflowed, flooded, and by day three we started seeing dead bodies, vehicles, shelters, broken trees, home appliances and so many other things floating downstream. The Swat River had washed out the major bridge connecting Lower Dir, Upper Dir and Chitral with rest of the country and – as I later found out – twenty four other such bridges in its path till the River Kabul at Nowshera. Flood water had caused the river to double in size, burst its banks and wash away everything in its path. With very little food, fuel and amenities in stock, and I was one of three million people of three districts remained stranded for next five days.

I cannot forget a crowd of what must have been tens of thousands of people on both side of the river all standing in long queues, children crying, veiled women struggling with their ‘parda’ in the middle of so many men and the elderly being pushed hard, waiting for hours in the scorching heat. I can’t forget a baby unconscious in the hands of its mother running madly for help in the crowd. It was chaos all the way- and those people are still isolated from the rest of the country.

Fortunately enough, day six I received help from my brother who had arranged a special escort by the Pakistan Army. What initially felt like a relief and a privilege very soon became guilt – which only started increasing as I moved across the river, and climaxed at the moment I made it to the other side. Instead of relief, I felt awful for the unfortunate people left on the other side. However, my journey had not yet ended – I was stuck for the next two days, and eventually managed to reach Nowshera. Nowshera used to be a small city which stood cheerily on both side of River Kabul, and was now completely and totally flooded. The M-1 the motorway that runs between Islamabad and Peshawar had hundreds of thousands of internally displaced persons (IDPs) who had made it to this relatively high ground. Nothing was left on both side of the river and water had even entered into the city filling streets, houses and markets with water and mud all over. Conditions of the survivors were very poor, lying under open sky, empty handed with almost nothing to eat and drink.

Flooding is still occurring across the country, starting from in the northern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa where my home lies, and spreading down to Punjab, Sindh and now Baluchistan – all have been badly hit. Every day brings new reports of more villages inundated. Millions of people are affected, displaced and countless stranded. A third wave of flooding has started in the north and is expected to reach downstream in next few days. The scale of devastation is too enormous for my mind to imagine.

No doubt the situation is a test of our strength, our individual and collective faith, morality and humanity. However, in the words of someone else, what doesn’t kill us can only make us stronger. Though it is hard to hold optimism in this hour of dismay however, I feel some aspect of the catastrophe could be viewed positively as well. The aftermath of the flood is teaching us lesson to devise systems and strategies which could prevent and mitigate such catastrophes in future. Public opinion has now changed dramatically on construction of dams which were previously denied as being too controversial. And most of all, despite of all the differences that seem to divide us, we as a nation are united for a single cause now, working hand in hand to rebuild the lives of the millions who have lost everything in the face of the flood.

Apa itu Diabetes ( Kencing Manis )
SILA LAYARI www.rhm4u.biz/ramsari

Secara amnya, penyakit diabetes ( kencing manis ) adalah penyakit yang berpunca daripada kandungan gula yang tinggi dalam darah. Biasanya, paras gula dalam darah dikawal oleh pankreas yang menghasilkan hormon insulin.
Dalam penyakit diabetes ( kencing manis ) disebabkan kekurangan insulin ia menyukarkan proses untuk mengeluarkan gula dalam darah dan turut menjejaskan sel dalaman untuk membekalkan tenaga.
Namun begitu, terdapat dua jenis diabetes ( kencing manis ) iaitu diabetes jenis I dan jenis II. Diabetes jenis I (Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus) berpunca daripada kegagalan penghasilan insulin oleh kelenjar pankreas atau tiada penghasilan langsung.
Biasanya, penghidap diabetes jenis I mula mendapat simptom penyakit ketika zaman remaja atau sebelum mencecah usia 40-an. Dek kerana kegagalan penghasilan insulin oleh badan, pesakit memerlukan suntikan insulin dan rawatan bagi mengawal tahap glukosa darah.
Diabetes jenis II berlaku apabila badan tidak menghasilkan insulin atau tidak menggunakan hormon insulin dengan baik. Kerap berlaku di kalangan individu yang berumur 40 tahun ke atas.

Ketika disebutkan diabetes melitus mungkin hanya sedikit dari anda yang tahu, tetapi jika disebut penyakit kencing manis maka pasti anda pernah mendengar atau mungkin tahu.
Diabetes mellitus atau penyakit kencing manis secara sederhana adalah suatu kondisi yang terjadi ketika tubuh anda tidak dapat menggunakan glukosa (salah satu jenis atau fraksi gula) secara normal. Jumlah glukosa dalam tubuh anda berada diatas nilai normal. Seperti yang kita ketahui bahwa glukosa adalah sumber utama energi untuk sel-sel tubuh. Tingkat glukosa dalam darah dikendalikan oleh hormon yang disebut insulin, dan dihasilkan oleh pankreas. Hormon Insulin ini membantu proses masuknya glukosa ke dalam sel.
Pada kasus penyakit diabetes, organ pankreas tidak dapat menghasilkan insulin yang cukup (diabetes tipe 1) atau tubuh tidak dapat merespon secara normal insulin yang dihasilkan (diabetes tipe 2). Hal ini menyebabkan kadar glukosa dalam darah meningkat, dan menimbulkan gejala seperti buang air kecil meningkat, rasa haus berlebihan, dan penurunan berat badan secara drastis.
