| Flood 2007 |
 |
Due to river rein and flat terrain geology,
flood is a yearly disaster in Bangladesh. The
few catastrophic floods the country suffered
after its independence, the present one is
one of the severe ones. Even the areas
including the outskirts of Dhaka, which never
had flooding got inundated this time. The
flood waters washed away villages, towns,
cattle and cultivable fields. Two thirds of
the country is now under water.
Communication system is destroyed and flood
affected starving people have taken refuge on
high roads, embankments, schools and in
various shelters. There is an extreme
scarcity of drinking water and for the lack
of pure drinking water lot of people
especially children die. People are passing
their days in boundless misery for the last
three weeks. They look forward to some aid
while waiting in their shelters.
20 districts including Tangail, Sirajganj,
Shunamganj, Manikganj, Kurigram and Jamalpur
are the worst hits in this years flood.
Various epidemics and waterborne diseases
including cholera and diarrhea will spread
soonest the flood water recedes. The post
flood rehabilitation; lack of food, repairing
affected infrastructures will bring yet
another challenge.
