Tears of water
Tears of water
Flooding in the northern region of Bangladesh has now become a yearly catastrophe. Every year, millions of people suffer from the overflowing of the river Jamuna and face serious flooding events. During the rainy days, the northern Bangladesh faces heavy rainfall which causes the river to overflow. Also, melting of the ice-caps of the Himalayas and sedimentation of the river beds also play mentionable roles in these flooding events. Every year, people are stranded and submerged into the water for days. Stuck without enough food, water and shelter- these people go through immense suffering every year.
