Project Brief
Bangladesh is a country in the Indian subcontinent that is
criss-crossed by a network of 230 rivers, most of them tributaries
of the Ganges and Brahmaputra. As a result of snow-melting of
the Himalayan glaciers and monsoon rain, the country suffers
annual floods with at least a fifth of the country submerged
each year.
In 2008, different parts of low-lying Bangladesh have been flooded
and up to 600,000 has been stranded by the flood. To help in
the disaster relief, CRS sent 2 relief teams in November and
December 2008 to Koligram to provide medical aid and conduct
children program in the disaster areas. |
