A year passed by since the Cyclone ‘Amphan’ wreaked havoc on coastal districts of Bangladesh on the night of May 20 in 2020. The cyclonic storm left a trail of devastation on lives, livelihood, agriculture, infrastructures, environment and the Sundarbans.
Many of the survivors are still with haunting memories of the storm and yet to recover from the losses caused by it. Here's a series of photos taken by Reuters.
