Bangladesh (MNN) ― The death toll from Bangladesh's flooding has risen to 268.
With the floodwater receding from 38 of the 64 districts in the country, there are now more concerns for survivors' health.
Aid workers say over 43,000 people are suffering from epidemic waterborne diseases while many are suffering from skin diseases and respiratory problems.
Compassion Bangladesh reports children in at least seven Compassion-assisted child development centers have been affected by monsoon-related flooding. Many of the affected Compassion-assisted children and their families are staying in disaster centers.
Staffers say some children have also fallen ill from the waterborne diseases. The flooding has also left many adults without work, worsening their impoverished situation.
Please pray for the Compassion family in Bangladesh to be comforted by God's love and wisdom during this troubling time.
