Daily life and economic struggles shape daily life in Bangladesh's Barishal
BARISHAL, BANGLADESH - OCTOBER 25: Shilpi, 37, sells Rice cake at a makeshift shop under her pigeon loft in Barishal, Bangladesh on October 25, 2026. Shilpi came here at least 20 years ago with her husband after her house was swallowed by an eroding riverbank in Mirjaganj, Patuakhali. Families struggle with insecure housing, limited access to safe drinking water and sanitation, and the daily challenges of earning a living. Environmental pressure, poverty and limited urban services affect families who are trying to build a stable future. Niamul Rifat; Müge Karaçalıoğlu; Anadolu Ajansı
