River Of Blood Flows On The Streets of Dhaka

 

Animal sacrifices for Eid combined with heavy rain fall have ruined the streets of Dhaka city, capital of Bangladeshi creating a river of blood blood.

Police in the Bangladeshi capital Dhaka had allowed the traditional slaughter to take place in certain designated areas of the city.

However heavy downpours made the environments very impossible to use.

The blood from the slaughtered liverstock, killed by some Muslims to mark Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice, mixed with the flood water  as can be seen in these dramatic pictures.

During the celebration, goats, sheep or cows are killed to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim's test of faith.

The meat is generally shared among family and friend - and with people who cannot afford to sacrifice their own animals.

In Dhaka, people used car parks, garages and alleys to kill the beasts.

The blood then flowed into the flooded streets, turning them into rivers of blood.
