Recalling Sidr: Take right as left takes to mass grave
On November 15, 2007, a dark day in Bangladesh’s history of natural disasters, Super Cyclone Sidr struck the coastal regions of the world’s largest delta, located by the Bay of Bengal. There is no exact count of the number of lives lost in the cyclone, as the official and unofficial death tolls vary widely. The government reported around 3,400 deaths, while various unofficial sources estimated nearly 10,000. About 55,000 people were injured, and many went missing. Around 7 million people were directly affected, with several hundred thousand left homeless. Homes, farmland, livestock, and fish farms in the coastal areas were devastated, and many trees and wildlife in the Sundarbans were severely damaged.
