The Indian government has deployed soldiers to help with rescue and relief efforts after Cyclone Amphan hit the country’s eastern coast last week.
More than 20 rivers have breached their banks and seawater is seeping into farmlands in the Sundarbans mangroves region – a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

If your home or country has been decimated by nature, would your neighbours come to help, or would you go to them to help?
@Petar, Compared to the white people who have been sucking and looting these areas for 200 years, the share of asking for help if they want is not even 1 part of it.
Today, you whites are bragging about money, the contribution of all this by Bangladesh, India. So don’t talk like nonsense.
The “white countries” have sucked dry every poor country since forever, the inequality is not a coincidence, and it’s easy to see why, comments like this one show clearly the cold-hearted ignorance, the arrogant racism so common in zombified empty shells like you, but don’t worry, life always manage to catch up with those that think they are safe hiding within their own filth, you will remember these words and your own miserable stupidity soon enough!!!
So Sad, God help them 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
WoW 😳… we hope they get help quickly 🌷💞
Thanks for this report, from Bangladesh
tnx
only Jesus christ saves.,
roberto dantas no
Jesus’ dad on the other hand loves unleashing biblical plagues on his creation .Jesus is just mopping up with the tap running …
Jesus replied via Skype Audio messaging: ” Tell that idiot to read John 5:30 – Without God i can do nothing”
Sorry for all the domeges and lost’s . May father God help and replaces for them . Amen
Say it properly.. May God of Abraham help them!
Luke 21:25-26 – There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among the nations, bewildered by the roaring of the sea and the surging of the waves. Men will faint from fear and anxiety over what is coming upon the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.
Indian media will claim the typhoon was created in a Chinese lab

It seems Reporter is so tired. She doesn’t have enough energy to speak.
No redbull energy drink on sale in Sunderbans..
i first read sweater destroys farmland in sundarbans and was like tha heck?
Oh No !!!, farmlands destroyed..?
Not a word about this in American media. Sending prayers !!!
Because there’s a pandemic going on and flooding in America.
theyre more interested there in quoting hydroxychloroquine and Trump…
indian national media is not also showing this and you are talking about american media??😑
this is how American news media aired their world news. Good evening this is world news tonight in New York, in Washington DC that is their world news.
So said
হে আল্লাহ আমাদের সকল কে হেফাজত করো
@Al Jazeeea English, Why not highlighted the part of Bangladesh? Bangladesh has also suffered. News has come in the local media. Moreover, 2 out of 3 parts of the Sundarbans is owned by Bangladesh.
Agreed. Hope Bangladesh recovers soon. This channel is a biased channel.
Give them what de need India 😢
It was engineered. Depopulation
Lucky you were not there! With a cold heart like yours, your karma would have resulted in one additional person to the depopulation statistics! You need to learn to cultivate compassion for the sufferings of humanity.
My state has been nearly destroyed… sunderbans have been nearly destroyed…
So 😡😡😡😡😡
People are suffering on this planet….some live so luxuriously and others scrape every day for food. Please I don’t ever want to hear about any god, anywhere, anytime, no how.!
Only the Almighty knows best.
@Ed Hakkim Bruce Almighty or Evan Almighty ?
@Ed Hakkim He’s absent & invisible and utterly just don’t exist. I see way too much suffering, please I don’t entertain an almighty…if he do exists he’ll have to beg my forgiveness but he won;t get it…
@Diba Omron The Almighty does not need your forgiveness. This world is filled with injustice and is unfair but as weak as our hearts let the suffering of others give us strength to do something good in any way possible to help contribute positively to society as a whole.
@Diba Omron how dumb can you get? It’s we as humans failing on looking after the needy. The wealthy are supposed to share their wealth and help the poor. But what is happening? Humans have become so greedy that they are not sharing their wealth. A few handful billionaires have more than half the richness of the earth. So it’s Hyman’s fault that they have stooped so low that there is very little humanity left. Stop don’t blame God.

Alley snackbar taking a few days off huh?
No the Sunderbans waiting for the man in diapers on a Tbar to be cut and brought down from the bar..

I pray on their behalf that you will send your Grace and Mercy to them. And provide clean water, better shelter, And much needed food to nurish their bodies for your name sake. Amen, and So Be it!! 🍀
TURN. TO JESUSCRIST, THINGS. WILL ONLY GET WORST, . . MAY. GOD. BLESS AND HAVE. MERCY.
Is that the God with all of these biblical plagues in his arsenal ? Tell him to cut it out next time you talk to him.People have had enough of his juvenile antics
Jesus replied via IMMARSAT Audio messaging: ” Tell that idiot to read John 5:30 – Without God i can do nothing”

I hope who reads this will be successful one day Let’s do our best from Japanese youtuber🇯🇵
Indiana recorded honestly on the number of deaths attributed to the coronavirus®. This is what happens to you if you are honest and don’t play along with the empire that goes around the world murdering humans and stealing their resources. 😒😞
Asians blacker than blacks 😂
i beg your pardon????
Climate change refugees & victims.
Que triste ….
A Prime Example of ‘Loss of Habitat’ due to Climate Change..! See ‘Guy McPherson’ for info on this subject..!
Prayers from Pakistan 🇵🇰 🙏🏻
Pray for the best for ppl of bengal and Bangladesh
I hope that there is enough in India’s grain-store reserves to feed West Bengal’s population. So sad, this is a huge catastrophe on top of Coronavirus epidemic.
People are passing very tough time.
I’m sorry for them
American news don’t be tellen me about this. Thank y’all Fr Fr
American news only revolves around America..
The west could not bat an eye to the east, this has been proven time and time again
I don’t know if you noticed but there’s a pandemic going on 🤷🏻♂️ each country must take care of their own.
Here..after hearing the news, the reporter may be suffering of nutritional strees..She should take immediately consultation of any specialist…
Pray for them
😢may God help them.
May Allah make it easier for our brothers and sisters in the Sunderbans!
So sadly god protect them.
I leave Sundarban amphan area…. thanks Al Jazeera.
I am from West Bengal..In my locality farmers lost their crops by heavy rainfall.
Sorry for Anil Holandar family. Bangladesh prime minister shak hacina said, No poor people in Bangladesh.
Prayers from Pakistan 🇵🇰
Why can’t Indian media reach out to these areas where Al Jazeera can?
Cause Indian media is busy blaming pakistan and creating bullshit fairytales .
Lol, many gonna be hungry this year 😂 guess we’ll be getting even more telemarketing calls too, damnit!
Modi moves too slow to help or no help at all
Prayers and love to these people❤❤
This country has a problem many countries would love to have. Too much water! 💧
Wonders of Modern Media. Just what do you think has been the lot of 2/3 of the world population for centuries? Do you think Everyone in the World owns a car and commutes to a job daily? There is a reason the people are called “subsistence farmers” and they have lived like this for generations, just one catastrophe from annihilation. We spoiled White Westerners sit comfortably with our conspicuous consumption and marvel that people would risk death to cross our borders. These people live lives of quiet desperation as they eke out a living in the shadow of disease and starvation. Something to think about the next time you drop by the supermarket for milk and cereal.
International media cover this and understand the importance of mangrove but national media neglected still now.
I live in Kolkata, West Bengal. Here local media isn’t showing the situation of these remote areas and only showing news of protests taking place because of no electricity after Amphan hit Kolkata. Please I beg your team to make a longer video. Show more visuals of there
At this Bangladesh conditions worst then west Bengal. Pls visit shatkhira areas in Bangladesh.
Thanks
It will recover slowly
Not any information on this and other important issues from the news in AMERICA
In satkhira, Bangladesh (beside west Bengal and sundarban) also same story.
