Bangladesh: MSF teams assessing cyclone affected area

Three teams of Médecins Sans Frontières are currently on their way to three of the most affected areas by the cyclone. About fifteen people between medical and logistical staff are going to Barguna, Pirojpur and Bhola provinces in the South of Bangladesh, to assess the situation and the most urgent needs for the population affected by the cyclone. In the meantime the teams are bringing some plastic sheeting and basic drugs for a possible first response. MSF is also in regular contact with other organizations on the ground. Based on the assessment made by our teams, further action will be decided.
