Report - Severe Tornado Hits Your Area

A Severe Tornado Hits Bhola

Hasan Mahmud, Bhola, 10 September: A severe tornado hit three villages in Bhola, which killed at least six persons including three children. The tornado hit the villages around 9 pm in the night. The tornado came on the villages suddenly and smashed away thatched huts and uprooted large trees.

Most of the houses were demolished and an uncounted number of persons were injured. Many of the injured persons were admitted at Bhola General Hospital. Many domestic animals were also killed and crops were damaged fully.

Setara Begum, a housewife, described the tornado as a hell fire coming from the sky. She said, "I never witnessed such horrific scene in my life. A large trunk from the sky came down on the village and destroyed everything before my eyes and before we could realize anything."

In fact, the tornado took away everything from the village. Nearly one thousand people have gone homeless due to tornado and they are now living under the open sky. They are urgently in need of food and shelter.

Though few NGOs have come forward with food and drinking water, their reliefs are not sufficient comparing to the need. The local authority has offered very little so far and the homeless people are in dire need of government help for their rehabilitation.
