B'desh flood victims say hopes fading, hunger spreads
By Anis Ahmed
DHAKA (Reuters) - Mother of three Salma Begum and her husband built a hut after floods in July washed away their home in northern Bangladesh.
Within weeks, the family was homeless again, joining millions of others affected by a second wave of monsoon flooding that has swept away homes, crops, roads and bridges across much of the country's north and northeast.
Many victims face hunger, have no jobs or income because their crops have been ruined or businesses disrupted.
