Cyclone in Bangladesh

Friday, a cyclone hit the coast of Bangladesh, killing more than 1000 people and leaving thousands homeless. Villages have been devastated and thousands of people are being evacuated as the downpour of rain and high winds created a storm surge that left many low-lying areas and some offshore islands under water. Relief workers are delivering aid to the devastated areas.
