We used to have good houses here, but they were washed away. Now we are living in tents. We tried to save our animals, but we had to sell them to pay for transport to get to safety in Quetta.«  - "When we first came back to the village after two months away, there was no clean water, so people were getting sick. Now that we have clean water again thanks to Mercy Corps, it is much better." "When returned, we had no means to make any money. Until the stagnant water drains away, we can't plant seed again. I'm hoping to get some work on a cash-for-work scheme, so that we can buy some seed.«  - credit photo 'Department for International Development'
