Relief for Storm Victims in Bangladesh
Cyclone Sidr swept in from the Bay of Bengal and roared across the southwestern coast of low-lying Bangladesh late Thursday, Nov. 15, with driving rain, 150-mph winds and a storm surge of up to 15 feet deep, leveling thousands of flimsy huts and destroying crops and fish farms in 15 coastal districts. The government of Bangladesh, a poor, desperately crowded nation of 150 million people, declared the cyclone a 10, the highest on their hazard scale. Homes of more than 43,000 people were either lost or badly damaged. More than 2,000 people killed. Winds uprooted trees, sent billboards flying through the air, and destroyed fishing boats. The damage to livelihood, housing and crops from Sidr is "extremely severe," said John Holmes, the U.N. undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs. CRF will be sending aid through a church in Alabama that has done missionary work in Bangladesh for years.
100% of funds sent for Bangladesh Relief will be used for meeting needs of storm victims
