Cyclone Sidr, which struck on November 15 in the districts of Khulna, Baribal, Barguna and Mongolanel Bangladesh's poor, has so far caused the deaths of some 3,500 people, although the toll could rise to 10.000/15.000.
Thousands of people were already rendered first aid. But the needs are much wider field: the cyclone hit schools, buildings and roads. Almost all of the rice crop was destroyed. Serious consequences for the environment: an ecological disaster, the devastation - for example - the Sunderbans park is the most largest mangrove forest in the world heritage site, as well as an exceptional reserve of rare animals.
To support the aid, the Republic appealed, and that is to participate in the fundraiser sponsored by Act, the Italian Agency for Emergency Response, which brings together some of the most important and influential Italian NGOs present at this time in Bangladesh: ActionAid, AMREF (African Medical and Research Foundation), Save the Children, Terre des Hommes, Vis (International Volunteers for Development), WWF.
This aid will certainly not solve the situation in the country, which suffers problems of poverty that are found in "normal" are, however, aid that, at present, are an important arm with which he turned around a bit.
