Living with floods

The flood situation has improved in Tangail on Sunday. Still thousands of people are marooned in flood water in the district. Scarcity of drinking water and baby food has become acute in the flooded areas as many roads and a large area of agricultural land have gone under the water. These photos have been taken by Dipu Malakar on 5 July.
