Bangladeshi cyclone

A Bangladeshi cyclone-affected boy Ripon prays at the grave of his younger sister Shahinur, who died during the devastation of cyclone Sidr, in Gorjonbunia village on the southern coastal area of Bangladesh, 21 November 2007. Six days after cyclone Sidr smashed in from the Bay of Bengal small amounts of aid were getting through to most places but villagers -- most of whom have lost family members and their livelihoods -- said much more was needed. The United Nations said 3,447 people were confirmed dead, a further 2,062 reported missing, feared dead and 6,611 injured. Many bodies, washed into sea, are unlikely to be found.
