Victims of Cyclone

Due to climate change, tropical cyclones are likely to increase in intensity, cause increased rainfall, and have larger storm surges. Rising sea levels could also boost storm surges from cyclones, making them even more deadly and destructive. This image was taken at Cooch Behar, West Bengal, India when this child was sleeping in a house of the cyclone affected area.
