Raging floodwaters have battered 38 out of 64 districts in Bangladesh, a delta nation of more than 150 (m) million people. Some flood victims told AP Television there was not enough food and water for the people displaced by the floods. "How can we live like this?" said flood victim Hasina Begum "There's not enough to eat, we are now just eating to survive. There is no one in my family who can earn anything," she added. "The lack of water is causing us great hardship. We cant get water except from one tubewell (water well)," added Abdul Khurshid. Major rivers have started receding in worst-hit eastern and central Bangladesh with monsoon rains weakening, the Flood Forecasting and Warning Centre said on Sunday in Dhaka, the Bangladeshi capital. But the low-lying areas around the nation's capital, were still under neck-deep water, and many residents were using boats to get around and others fearing for their lives. So far this year, some five (m) million people in Bangladesh have been displaced by flooding, according to government figures. Flooding has also devastated neighbouring India, killing 169 people in the past week. Some 19 (m) million people have been driven from their homes in the two countries in recent days. The South Asian monsoon season runs from June to September as the rains work their way across the subcontinent, a deluge that scatters floods and landslides across the region and kills hundreds of people every year.
