17 Nov 2007 - Cyclone in Bangladesh


Cyclone in Bangladesh: Cyclone rescue effort under way Aid workers are struggling to reach hundreds of thousands of survivors from a powerful cyclone that ripped through southern and central Bangladesh. Almost 2000 people are confirmed to have died during the storm, a toll that is expected to rise further. The cyclone has destroyed or damaged tens of thousands of homes. Bangladesh is still an amazing place, we've done so much. Bangladesh is however in quite a bad way especially today after the cyclone, 2000 people have died so far and the number is rising, 7 of the dead were found in Dhaka. Where we are staying in dhaka wasn't badly affected, although there was some damage caused due to things falling down in the winds (trees and buildings etc). All of the team are ok and Chandraghona, where we will be going on tuesday for three weeks, is also not badly hit. But, if you can get people to pray for the situation in Bangladesh and for us in how we deal with it and all the things we will be seeing, it would be really great. Thankyou xxx
