USS Tarawa (LHA 1): Bangladesh’s Humanitarian Aid Continues.

A translator tells a young boy about the medical treatment he received from U.S. Navy Lt. Cmdr. Lu Le in Doblarchar, Bangladesh, Dec. 4, 2007. A U.S. Navy Fleet Surgical Team from the amphibious assault ship USS Tarawa (LHA 1) is conducting humanitarian assistance/disaster relief efforts in response to Bangladesh’s request for assistance after Tropical Cyclone Sidr struck their coast on Nov. 15, 2007. The storm killed over 3,000 people and has left several hundred thousand homeless. The Department of Defense effort is part of a larger United States response coordinated by the U.S. Department of State and U.S. Agency for International Development.
