BANGLADESH: Floods affect many communities
| | | |
7 August 2002
Many communities in Bangladesh are struggling as the recent floods
are bring suffering to more than three million people.
World Vision Bangladesh has distributed food and non-food relief materials
to the most needy flood victims.
Some areas in Sariakandi, a New Zealand funded area, have been inundated
with rain. But the flood situation is not serious enough to respond to
immediately.
Some outskirt areas of Dhaka city have also been inundated. Officials
from the Flood Forecasting and Warning Center said flooding in these areas
was caused by rain water and liquid waste that did not find an outlet.
August is not the end of monsoon season in Bangladesh, it may continue
through September and therefore the threat of flooding continues.
