Come Rain or Shine...

MORE THAN 350 families in Bangladesh have been left homeless after a river burst its banks. Meanwhile authorities are battling to get food and medicine to 75,000 people marooned elsewhere in the country by raging floods.

The Padma river breached the embankment in Munshiganj, 18 miles from the capital Dhaka. Meteorologists said more heavy rains are forecast for the region.
