In the ongoing anti-finance bill protests, grief-stricken families are making urgent appeals for financial assistance to lay their loved ones to rest. The demonstrations, which have drawn attention to the controversial legislation, have tragically resulted in at least 10 fatalities. Families are also calling on the government to expedite postmortem examinations to ensure a timely and dignified farewell for the deceased.
The violent clashes have left a significant mark, with 165 injured protesters admitted to medical facilities on Wednesday. While some of the injured have since been discharged, the memories of the brutal confrontations linger. Law enforcement agencies have faced severe criticism for their excessive use of force during the protests.
Amidst the turmoil, a nationwide blood donation drive has commenced, showcasing a different side of the community spirit. Many citizens have turned up to donate blood, expressing solidarity with the victims of the protests. The drive, which is being conducted across various regions of the country, will continue until Sunday. Since the initiative began on Monday, an impressive 2,000 pints of blood have been collected nationwide.
This collective effort underscores the resilience and unity of the community in times of crisis. As families continue to seek support for burial expenses and the nation comes to terms with the aftermath of the protests, the ongoing blood donation drive stands as a beacon of hope and humanity.
