'Rivers Of Blood' flow in Bangladesh on Eid

                               

The streets of Dhaka were literally flowing with blood after heavy rain on the first day of Eidul Azha. Despite sporadic rain, which started on early Tuesday and continued through the first day of Eid and flooded many areas of the Bangladeshi capital, residents of the city went on to offer Eid prayers and sacrificed animals.

The clogged rainwater combined with the blood of sacrificial animals created a rather uncommon and gory scene, making it look like as if streets had transformed into rivers of blood. Photos shared on Twitter and Facebook showed Dhaka streets filled with blood-stained water.
