Thousands stranded without aid in Bangladesh - 18 Nov 07

The number of people killed by the cyclone that hit Bangladesh has risen sharply to 3,000 and may climb even higher.

The Red Crescent aid organisation says that the final figure could be between 5 and 10,000.

The situation is worst in remote areas on the southern coast which was hit hard by a six metre tidal wave.

Very, very sad. I bet global warming will lead to more hurricanes, flooding and devastation for the poor living in that part of the world.

Keep up the great reporting from Bangladesh!

I'm from Bangladesh you fucking piece of shit! You better watch what you're saying and that it's not racist. Sorry everyone about my language but i can't stand it when someone is racist about my culture, country or religion, and i'm sure that it would be the same to you.
