Disaster in Bangladesh: A Multinational Relief Effort

Authors

Shafiq-ur Rahman

Abstract

Natural disasters have become a modus vivendi for the unfortunate people of Bangladesh. Floods, tropical cyclones, tornadoes, and tidal bores ravage the country almost every year. Annual monsoon flooding results in the loss of human life, damage to property and communication systems, and a shortage of drinking water leading to the spread of diseases. Similarly, severe cyclones accompanied by tidal surges cause colossal loss of life and property.
