Bangladesh Floods - July 2004

As a multitude of people died and thousands forced to leave their homes in Bangladesh because of one of the worst floods in history, the IIS of SA was quick to coordinate and disburse aid to the affected areas. Nearly half a million people remained marooned in seven flood-hit districts in the country's North West and in the south. Fortunately, the aid eased the burden that was to be shouldered by the Bangladesh government. The medical supplies that were purchased helped those who succumbed to diarrhea in the southern district of Bangladesh.
