Appeals for your donations urgently for the cyclone victims in the costal areas of Bangladesh.

 

 

More than 3200 deaths officially counted so far, and the number rising by minutes.

 

Winds over 220km an hour hit the coastal area (Khulna-Barisal mainly) at 7:30pm Thursday, cutting off all communications and services across the country. High speed Winds, driving rains and tidal waves (about 5mtrs high) wreaked havoc for over 14 hours. Relief items such as tents, rice and water have been slow to reach most survivors of the worst cyclone to hit Bangladesh in a decade. Mike Kiernan, spokesman for the charity Save the Children, stressed that even those that survived the storm might still be lost to its aftermath.” “Just the fact that people were able to survive this does not mean they will survive the second wave of death that comes from catastrophes like this: from lack of clean water, food, basic medicines and shelter,” Kiernan said. Please help us to help them.
