RIYADH - Oil-rich Saudi Arabia said on Monday it is
giving Bangladesh 100 million dollars in emergency aid
to help victims of a devastating cyclone, which left
thousands dead.

King Abdullah also ordered the dispatch of food,
medical and other relief assistance to the victims,
according to a statement from the royal court.

Soldiers and relief workers were racing to get aid to
millions left homeless by the cyclone in Bangladesh,
where officials said the death toll had topped 3,100
and was certain to keep rising.

Untold numbers of desperate survivors were short of
food and water in southern Bangladesh, one of the
poorest areas of the world, which was battered by a
colossal storm Thursday night that swept entire
villages away.

The Jeddah-based Organisation of the Islamic
Conference has called on governments and civil bodies
in its 57 member states to send urgent assistance to
Bangladesh
