300,000 need aid

Flood affected people take shelter inside a school building in Daganbhuiyan in Feni, on Sunday. River waters in low-lying Bangladesh are receding after days of deadly floods but 300,000 people are still in emergency shelters requiring aid, disaster officials said. The heavy floods, which killed at least 18 people, have added to the challenges of a new government that took charge this month after a student-led revolution.
