Subject : Prayer for relief for the cyclone affected people.
Sir,
On behalf of the people of Sharankhola, I beg to draw your kind attention to
the fact that a devasting cyclone-Sidr visited this area on 15 November
2007. The cyclone of this time has broken all the records of the past. Never
before did water level rise so high nor the duration was so long. Thousands
of people died and many more have become homeless, foodless and clothless.
Even hundreds of the world famous Royal Bengal tigers and the beautiful
spotted dear met watery graves due to the cyclone. Almost one fourth area of
the Sunderbans has been destroyed by the cruel cyclone. The miseries of the affected people know no bounds. There are now scarcity of food and pure
drinking water. Crops have been damaged greatly. Herd of cattle have been
washed away. Thousands of people are now living under open air, on boats and
embankments etc. Moreover, many diseases like cholera, diarrhea, dysentery
etc. have broken out here and there. They may turn in an epidemic form at
any time. The affected people now badly need food, clothes medicines pure
drinking water etc.
In the circumstances. I, therefore, pray and hope that you would be kind
enough to send enough relief goods to the cyclone-affected people of this
area immediately to lessen the sufferings of the people.
Yours faithfully,
Abdul Wadud Khan
Sharankhola,
Shathira.
