Dhaka, Bangladesh – August 2010
A woman tries to catch the rain water coming from the roof of a house in Muslimbag close to the embankment road in Kamrangirchar. In the Kamrangirchar slum of Dhaka – on the banks of one of the most polluted rivers in the world – MSF runs a primary healthcare centre that provides care to children under five and pregnant and lactating women.
Kamrangirchar is one of Dhaka’s many slum areas, a product of the urban mass migration that makes this capital the world’s most rapidly expanding city.
