Millions of people have been stranded or forced from their homes by floods across South Asia. The flooding, described as the heaviest in 30 years, has killed over 1400 people in Bangladesh, India and Nepal. In Bangladesh, reportedly 40 percent of the land has been inundated. The leader of country’s military backed interim government Fakhruddin Ahmed has appealed for aid both from home and from abroad to help the affected people.
