Flood-affected villagers make their way through the cyclone-hit area of Shabakhali in the Sundarbans delta, about 100 km (62 miles) southeast from the eastern Indian city of Kolkata May 27, 2009. Nearly 200 people have been killed by a cyclone that ripped through Bangladesh and eastern India, while millions remained marooned by floodwater or forced to live in shelters. Cyclone Aila slammed into parts of coastal Bangladesh and eastern India on Monday, triggering tidal surges and flooding that forced people from their homes. Picture taken May 27, 2009.
