Floods Will Kill Over 1000 in Bangladesh and India India (HDW) August 4, 2004 - A web of dark blue and black flood water covers the region surrounding the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, in this image, acquired on August 3, 2004. The Ganges River runs into the image from the upper left corner, and the Meghna River flows down from the upper right corner. The flood waters are slowing draining away, though the capital city remains partially submerged. New reports say that the floods have claimed 740 lives in Bangladesh, and the number is expected to rise as water-borne disease spreads. The floods were triggered by heavy monsoon rains in June and July. |
