I found the following information from internet search:

Quote:

The International community is lending their hands pledging millions:

- The biggest local NGO has released $1 million in their relief efforts.

- The United Nations has pledged several millions of dollars in aid.

- The European Commission said it is sending $2.2m in emergency relief to Bangladesh.

- Germany has released $293,000 in emergency relief aid to Bangladesh. The money will go to German relief organizations working in cooperation with local partners to alleviate suffering caused by Cyclone Sidr.

- Government of Ireland announced that Irish Aid will make up to €500,000 available to assist those affected by the devastating cyclone in Bangladesh.

- The World Food Programme sent 98 metric tons of emergency food rations for 400,000 people.

- International Federation of Red Crescent has allocated CHF 250,000 from the Federation’s Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) to respond to urgent needs ahead of the results and recommendations of ongoing assessments.

- The International NGOs in Bangladesh like World Vision are already active in relief and rescue efforts.

Un-quote

We are now slowly coming back to normalcy after the devastating cyclone (Hurricane) that struck Southern part of Bangladesh in the evening of Thursday the 15th November.

The numbers of dead are over 2000 now as officially acknowledged today on the 18th November. The figure may rise further since relief teams are yet to reach far-flung areas of coastal belt of Bay of Bengal due to bad road communication. Navy and Air Force are delivering the relief materials and the Army is helping with rebuilding the roads and homes in the affected areas.

Political parties which were inactive due to the curtailment of their recent destructive activities by the present government after the changes of 11th January 2007 are now coming out of hibernation and trying to reach people with help.
