Damage by Cyclone Sidr in Bangladesh

The survivors of the brutal cyclone Sidr, which recently hit the coast of Bangladesh, are in great need of help. Villages and crops have been washed away, and livestock have drowned.

DanChurchAid’s local partner Dushtha Shasthya Kendra, DSK, is distributing blankets, food and soap to the most vulnerable families and the partner is also providing tube wells because the remaining wells are contaminated by salt water.

The relief aid from DanChurchAid is so far worth 300.000 DKK.

One million people are affected by the cyclone in Bangladesh’s coastal districts. More than 10.000 people are feared dead.

DSK will distribute the relief items in two of the worst hit districts of Bagerhat og Khulna.
