UN: 3.5 mn Bangladeshi children lack safe water after floods

Geneva (AFP) June 24, 2022

The United Nations said Friday that 3.5 million children in Bangladesh urgently needed safe drinking water following this month's devastating floods. UNICEF, the UN children's agency, said it needed $2.5 million quickly in order to fund its emergency response. Monsoon storms in Bangladesh and India have killed dozens of people and unleashed floods that left millions of others stranded.
