A snippet from an article I just read. Why isn't this front page news? Anyone on the board from this region?

19 million driven from homes
Indian officials say more than 1,200 people have died in their country alone since monsoon season began in June. Scores of others have been killed in Bangladesh and neighboring Nepal, where floods have hit low-lying southern parts of the country.

Some 19 million people have been driven from their homes in India and Bangladesh in recent days. At least 2 million people have found themselves marooned and unable to reach safe ground, though relief supplies have been airlifted to many.

Relief supplies have been air-dropped over the worst-hit areas of India’s Bihar state, but some stricken residents have ended up fighting with each other in their desperate attempts to grab food parcels, officials said.

Flood victims living in makeshift camps said the state administration should provide them money or rebuild their devastated homes.
