Srinagar: Most of the hospitals in Kashmir valley have suffered maximum damage in the floods. Valleys main childrens hospitals GB Pant is worst hit and it looks like a haunted house. Reports say at least 11 infants died, most of them barely a few days old after the electricity was knocked out, ending the crucial support offered by ventilators. The hospital still remains without electricity. The only way to get in to the hospital is by a boat. The hundreds of empty hospital beds, stripped off sheets and blankets, some of which remain knotted to the windows that turned into emergency exits, prove how ruthlessly and swiftly the water took jurisdiction of a zone devoted to saving children.
Other major hospitals like SMHS hospital, Bone & Joint hospital and other hospitals are also flooded when the reports last came in.
