Crisis Appeal - Floods - August 2004
As flood waters recede to the normal levels, children continue to be exposed to the dangers of diarrhoea, pneumonia and other water-borne diseases, suffer from the lack of adequate nutritious food, miss out on schooling and remain vulnerable to abuse and exploitation. UNICEF is deeply concerned about these children, as well as pregnant and lactating women, over the coming months, especially as the international attention turns away from Bangladesh.
