ACT AppealBangladesh - ASBD72Relief to Cyclone Sidr affected populationsGeneva,
21 December 2007
Appeal
Target: US$ 2,495,231 Hurricane
“SIDR” hit the southern coast of Bangladesh on 15th November
2007 leaving behind a trail of devastation. The most severely affected
districts include Satkhira, Khulna,Bagerhat, Narail, Gopalganj, Jessore,
Borguna, Patuakhali, Perojpur, Jhalakati, Barisal, Bhola, Luxmipur,
Noakhali, Feni, Chittagong and Cox’s Bazer. The cathegory-5 hurricane
on scale 5 made landfall on the Khulna and Barisal coasts with winds
of 220 to 240 km an hour. The full extent of the destruction and loss
of life is not yet known. However, the cyclone caused extensive damage
to crops, houses, school buildings, roads, ripping trees up and disrupting
electricity and telecommunication systems and destroyed the water
sources and water supplies in the area. A complicating factor is the
level of saline and poison of the ground water and the water sources.
This has been a problem for a long time, but is escalated by the current
disaster. The official death toll is now 3-4000 people and the numbers
are still rising. Hundreds of people, especially those living in the
coastal areas were evacuated to safer places including near by cyclone
shelters. There is an immediate need for dry foods, clean drinking
water, blankets and assistance to the affected women and men, boys
and girls. 1,5
million people are currently living in shelters and there is an immediate
danger of water borne diseases and epidemics. This
appeal caters for the crisis and recovery phases, and includes mainly
relief distribution of food and non food items as well as mobile clinic
support. This appeal will covers a six month period, ending on the
30th of June 2008. A revision of this appeal is expected early in
the year, to include rehabilitation and post crisis interventions. Name
