LIVING WITH THE FLOODS ON FLOATING HOUSES

Villagers go about their daily lives despite devastating flooding after a river burst its banks. Residents aren't deterred by the chest-deep water and continue to hang out their washing, lead cattle, and fetch drinking water. These villagers in Sariakandi, on the outskirts of Bogra, Bangladesh, have been affected by flood water which comes from a nearby river and is 30ft-deep in the worst areas.
