Heavy monsoon rains have flooded large regions of Bangladesh and the Indian states of Assam and Bihar, killing more than 900 and displacing some 23 million people. Little relief appears to be in sight because forecasts call for continued rain. Dhaka, Bangladesh is suffering its second worst dengue fever epidemic ever, with 100 deaths from the disease since July, and hospitals are filled with dengue patients. Medical supplies to treat the disease are running low.
