Pregnant Woman Carried Across Flooded River, Jharkhand
A young woman in India who was about to have her baby had to be carried across a flooded river because an ambulance wouldn't come.
Her family called for help multiple times, but nobody answered.
They carried her on a wooden bed through deep water to get her to a hospital, which was far away.
Finally, she got to the hospital, and both she and the baby were okay.
This happened because there is no bridge over the river, and this village has been asking for one for a long time, so getting help is always difficult.
They have carried people like this before.
A pregnant woman in Jharkhand was carried across a flooded river to reach a hospital.
Ambulance services were unavailable despite multiple calls.
The family transported her on a cot due to the lack of a bridge over the Dhuria River.
Mother and child are safe after reaching the community health center.
Villagers have repeatedly requested a bridge, with no action taken for years.
