Nov. 19 - Rescuers are struggling to reach survivors along Bangladesh's devastated coast days after supercyclone Sidr hit the country.

The death toll from cyclone Sidr has surpassed 3,000 but Bangladeshi and international relief agencies fear the final number could exceed 10,000.

A huge effort is underway to get food, drinking water and shelter to the millions affected by the storm, which was the worst to hit disaster-prone Bangladesh for more than a decade.

Paul Chapman reports.
