Bangladesh health facilities overburdened after floods

With more patients getting sick from the water-borne diseases in the flooding season, the more pressure healthcare will be receiving. It appears that most patients have suffered from intestinal diseases, and over 3,000 new cases of diarrhoea occurred, with 34,989 people contracted water-borne disease. It is amazing how the number of people have contracted diseases really quickly, but the International Centre for Diarrhoeal Diseases treated 900 patients with diarrhoea, which is pretty shocking. The military has assisted in the emergency help by providing more hospital beds, intravenous fluids, ambulance facilities,a nd additional manpower, especially the UN WFP and UNICEF who will be assisting 123,000 flood victims in four central districts of two northern districts. Australia has also assisted. I am really impressed with the assistance Bangladesh has been receiving from different countries. It's like a teamwork.
