Health care should be the answer (Question: 257478.0 )

The passage follows, but there are things needed on the ground like health care. this makes the financial alleviation secondary.

Question:

Directions: You have brief passages with questions following each passage. Read the passages carefully and choose the most appropriate answer to the questions out of the four alternatives.

What people in the flood-hit regions expect of governments is speedy relief and rehabilitation. Alleviating financial losses is crucial for a return to normality, and the Centre has announced a solatium for the next of kin of those who have died. But there are other actions people need on the ground: short-term housing, food, safe water, access to health care and protection for women, children and the elderly. Given the weak foundations of social support in policymaking, these factors have an aggravated impact during natural calamities. It is dismaying that some States have not been able to use disaster relief funds as intended, and the Centre has asked them to set off the unutilised portion when making fresh claims. Such a wrangle is unseemly at a time when people need relief.

Governments cannot legitimately expect that people with marginal incomes will take calamitous losses in their stride, with neither social support nor financial instruments available to rebuild lives. Sustained economic growth needs action on both fronts. It is essential also to look at the public health dimension: many without the coping capacity develop mental health issues including post-traumatic stress disorder in the wake of such catastrophes, and need counselling. A vigorous monsoon is vital for the economy, but governments should be prepared to deal with the consequences of excess rainfall. 

What is the most-needed factor required for flood-hit areas to return to normality? 

Options:
A)

Short-term housing

B)

Strong policy-making

C)

Making up for financial losses

D)

Access to health care

Solution:

Ans: (c) From the second line of the passage, it is clear that alleviating financial losses is crucial for a return to normality.
