Sabitri Sunar, 42, of Muchchok VDC in Gorkha district burst into tears when she could not get a quake victim identification card and a relief amount on Tuesday, almost nine months after the April earthquake. While she struggles to get a meager amount of help, her nine-month-old toddler and 70-year-old mother depend almost entirely on her. Sabitri has been to the district administration office several times to get her quakle victim identification card and relief amount, but to little avail. When the April 25 earthquake hit the country, she had given birth to her fifth daughter just six days earlier. The quake razed her house. Her husband Bhim Bahadur, a daily wage earner, went out for work that day and never returned. The Sunar couple was in the capital at the time of the disaster. As she hadn’t acquired her citizenship certificate before her husband went missing, officials claim that she isn’t legally eligible to receive any aid from the state. “He always took me with him wherever he went. We did not know the importance of citizenship papers,” she said. Her eldest daughter has already gotten married while the other three are in an orphanage in Kathmandu. A Korean citizen took them to the orphanage after seeing the pathetic situation of the Sunar family in the aftermath of the disaster. Sabitri’s youngest daughter has a heart problem and needs to take medicine regularly. Sabitri is ill herself but begs money to buy medicine for her ailing infant. She pleaded with police in the capital several times to find her husband. She even provided them with his finger print sample. But after they could not trace him, she returned home.myrepublica
