Second Bangladesh Tragedy Update

The news continues to worsen as resue workers report more and more deaths in Bangladesh.

The death toll from a cyclone that devastated Bangladesh has surpassed 2,200, officials said Sunday, while rescuers struggled through blocked paths to reach hundreds of thousands of survivors awaiting aid in wrecked homes and flooded fields.

The government deployed military helicopters, naval ships and thousands of troops to join international agencies and local officials in the rescue mission following Tropical Cyclone Sidr. The U.S. and other countries also offered assistance.

Tomorrow is another day, and sadly I am sure we shall see the death toll figures rise once again! Please help if you can, as the relief agencies can surely use your donations. There is an online relief fund called www.helpinghandonline.org, there is also the Red Cross, and the United Nations. Personally I have animus for both the United Nations, and the Red Cross relief agencies, so I will be checking with the local churches like the one across the street from where I live, and donate to one, like the one I mentioned that is sending aid to Bangladesh. Take Care!
