DHAKA: The World Bank said on Tuesday it has extended another 140 million dollars in additional support to Bangladesh to help people affected by two deadly cyclones in 2007 and 2009.
Bangladesh – one of the world’s most densely populated countries – is highly vulnerable to natural disasters, including cyclones, droughts, floods and earthquakes.
Cyclone Sidr in 2007 killed around 3,500 people in Bangladesh, while Cyclone Aila in 2009 killed more than 300 people in Bangladesh and around 150 people in India. (PTI)
