People in Mumbai, India, are still coming to terms with the effects of the horrific train bombings on 11 July, and The Salvation Army continues to help them in their recovery.
In the immediate aftermath of the bombings, Salvation Army personnel worked well into the night to assist survivors who had been left stranded away from home by the disruption of the city’s train system. As victims of the atrocity were rushed to hospitals, The Salvation Army sent a team to see what was required to respond to the needs of the injured. This contact led to the Army supplying sheets, folding mats and 50 folding mattresses to help cope with the sudden influx of patients at Sion Hospital in Mumbai.
The immediate response is over but Salvation Army personnel are still providing ongoing trauma counselling as well as spiritual support to families and individuals who have been affected by the bombings.
