Event Description
Bangladesh has been hit with another natural disaster. Cyclone SIDR has left millions stranded, without water, food or shelter. It is our time to come out and help. Please read on and try to come out to the event next Friday in Missisauga.
November 19, 2007 : Cyclone Sidr has left behind a trail of devastation affecting the lives of at least 4 million people, and leaving a path of damaged houses, uprooted trees, destroyed schools, flattened crops, dead livestock, contaminated streams and ponds, and disrupted road links. The storm has left more than 3,000 dead - a number that rises with every passing hour.
Of the total lives lost to Sidr, 40 per cent are believed to be children. Many of the children that have survived are now orphans. Children under five, pregnant women, new mothers and the elderly are the people most seriously affected.
The number of victims is expected to rise dramatically as rescue crews and aid workers make their way to remote areas and islands. Hope is fading for finding survivors from missing ships, trawlers and fishing boats that were swept away. Thousands of people are still living in the open with no food, drinking water or medicine. The threat of disease outbreak is rising.
There is a serious need for
- Medicine
- Household kits (including plastic sheeting)
- Blankets
- Soap
- Kitchen equipment and utensils
- Water purification tablets
- Hygiene items
- Zinc sheeting, timber and construction materials for shelter.
