Three weeks days after the ordeal struck! Earlier this week the U.N. said that the damages caused by Sidr are worse than initially estimated. They added another 5000 more to the list of injuries to a new total of 40000 and raised the list of homes that have been completely destroyed with 85000 to 564000. The U.N's last report identified food, shelter, and cash the highest priorities

Cyclone Sidr ( Sidr is said to mean 'eye') that tortured larger parts of Bangladesh on November 15, and directly affected almost 3 million Bangla's (that's 2 percent of the total population), killed 3256 sofar and left the country with a huge number of short and medium term emergencies and problems to deal with. Relief efforts are well under way but various serious diseases in the Sidr- hit areas have started spreading.
