Lite Beer Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 PM Yingluck failed to tackle flood disaster as promised, states ABAC Poll BANGKOK, 2 October 2011 (NNT)-According Dr. Nappadol Karnika of the ABAC Poll, the growing number of flood victims and casualties had made the public lose faith in the new government and their policy promises. From the interviews conducted by the poll, the flood has had massive affect on the victims, both mentally and physically. Those in need of fresh water, medical assistance and shelter are experiencing accumulating problems that needs great attention. The poll suggested that those who lost properties and housing during the flood were now in distress. Essentially, the poll conclusively points out that government assistance is not as efficient and local politicians in the flooded regions are benefiting from the aid. Those with power have the first pick on flood donations, leaving communities and the public behind. Furthermore, the results suggest that the victims are demanding equality in the distribution of resources and that the government should deliver as promised during the election campaigns. -- NNT 2011-10-02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lite Beer Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 Flood victims further suffer food poisoning and lack of hygiene BANGKOK 2 October, 2011 (NNT)-Reports suggest that 100 disaster victims are suffering from severe food poisoning, nausea and diarrhea after consuming donated cooked food. According to the Ministry of Public Health, 10 medical emergency units were deployed in Chai Nat province to rescue the stranded and referred them to a local hospital. Local public health offices have also been assigned to deploy mobile medical units to help the victims in the region. Fast spreading illness are currently affecting flood victims due to poor hygienic conditions and lack of clean drinking water. Dr. Phaijit Warachit, Permanent Secretary for Public Health claimed that flooding victims including women and children were suffering from further illnesses from donated food, comprising instant noodles, fried rice and other fast foods. From the gathered faeces and vomit samples, Nakhon Sawan Medical Research Center concluded that the victims received donated foods at 10.30 and consumed them by noon or even later, leaving time for bacterial development. As for the poor hygiene conditions in Chai Nat and other affected provinces, emergency medical units have been rushed to the area by boat in order to contain the overall hygiene as well as provide safe foods and clean water for the victims. -- NNT 2011-10-02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OzMick Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 They seem to be reluctant to get the military fully involved. They have the equipment to handle bad conditions, should be setting up field hospitals and kitchens - if nothing else, it would be valuable experience for them.

Misterwhisper Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 It's actually amazing: We know that we can expect floods every single year - more or less severe. One would actually reasonably think that the government (any government) had a framework of emergency relief measures in place to some degree in anticipation of the next flooding disaster that's sure to hit. But not so. It really seems like they've got to organize something from scratch each and every time.Foresight and planning ahead is not a 'forte' of the powers-that-be in this country.

Possible that food was allowed to spoil before eaten, happens with this hot and humid climate. What really surprises me is that the Sherlock Holmes of the NakhonSawan MRC could see from the faeces the food was donated at 10:30 and consumed 1-1/2 hour or so later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rakman Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 She has failed in all her promises except those made to her brother ............................ and the band plays on.... what did those of us with an ounce of common sense predict... Had she said: "..this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.." like the anointed Nobel Prize winning empty suit did, she'd be praised. But then, the earth has cooled (much like his popularity around the world) and the oceans did fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buchholz Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 BANGKOK, 2 October 2011 (NNT)-According Dr. Nappadol Karnika of the ABAC Poll, the growing number of flood victims and casualties had made the public lose faith in the new government and their policy promises. Quite consistent with the other recent poll: Poll Reveals A Decline In Government Popularity this poll likely reflects a general disappointment in the governments performance in enacting positive change for the general populous rather than for the benefit of one man...... As reflected in the other poll showing the benefit of one man is not what they want. It's a shame the populace is waking up only after the election.
