Explain how flooding can impact on people (4)

*

Answer

In Bangladesh, flooding killed cattle leaving decaying carcasses in

the water. As a result diseases spread via the flood water, which

people drank. This led to people contracting typhoid and dysentery,

which killed them. In 1991, Bangladesh only had one flood shelter.

Therefore many people could not get to safety. As a result hundreds

of thousands of people drowned.
